Would anyone know what is needed for this? I'm assuming the master cylinders of a GSX but I'm new to this type of modding. If anyone can direct me on where to start that'd be cool. I just put the turbo on and need to stop faster now. Thanks again guys...

EDIT: I have a GS w/ 4 way disc. Unfortunately they are only made to stop a n/t car... :(
 
awd caliper/brackets, rotors is all you need for it to work. If you are going to use pre 95 calipers then you need to get new lines (screw in type).
 
Alright man... i just did this about 3 months ago so its still fresh in my head.... This is how i went about it:

1) GSX front Rotors.... might as well get them new and here is a great deal... http://www.machv.com/ovoemmiro.html

2) SS breaklines... get the ones that were made for your car 95+.... http://www.machv.com/brstbrli.html

3) GSX front calipers... just get 95+ so not to worry if the breaklines will fit or not... I got mine from here and it only cost me $10 for shipping.... http://www.car-part.com/

*I think i got mine for like a $100 bucks... also when you talk to someone make sure that they are indeed two piston calipers... i had one of these breaker yards tell me that they have in fact seen awd calipers with the single piston... so just make sure for yourself. OH AND YEAH.... make sure the calipers come with the brackets... otherwise you're screwed.

4) New GSX front break pads... i went with HAWK hps... thats up to you....

Lastly, i didnt go with a GSX master break cylinder... breaks work very very well compared to before. And with my break cylinder there is a good degree of variation of breaking with the pedal, unlike the breaks in a jetta for example... which act more like an off and on switch. A GSX master break cylinder might make the pedal feel a little better.... but the way it is now is an incredible improvement.

Hope this helps....
Dave

EDIT: I also cleaned them up and painted them... thats up to you.
