Default brake swap for eg hatch.

hey guys is it worth it to swap my front and rear brake to that of an integra 4x100? or should i just get good front pads and call it a day?

oh btw i am planning on tracking the car. how well would the rear drums do?

What's your definition of "tracking"?

FYI drums suck, but I wouldn't go out of my way to replace them unless you go lapping/road racing. Auto-X/Drag/Street driving just get better pads & fluids.

Why don't you drive it on the track first then decide if you need to upgrade? Until you're beyond the limits of your current setup, upgrading is just throwing money away.

i know it sucks replacing them.

the reason why i'm asking is i got to do safety for the car and instead of replacing the part why don't i upgrade it. i probably will.

BTW the whole suspension+brakes of dc chassi is a bolt on to my eh2 chassi right?

if you have the full suspension lemme know.

if you have to replace the drums anyway, might aswell throw in the extra coin one time instead of buying drums, and then upgrading soon anyway. reza, i have most of my 4x100 setup still, call me or drop by my house.
