Oh I thought that in 93 the NAs also got bigger brakes. With my upgrades (front) hawk hps pads, powerslot slotted rotors 16x7 dunlop direzza sport Z1 tires (all around) and brand new calipers hoses, master cylinder, new oem equipment on the rear (calipers, pads, rotors, etc.), and an upgraded heavy duty bilstein shocks (420psi instead of the stock 250psi Tokico shocks) at all 4 corners.

I figured these upgrades would take my braking distance (60-0mph) down to around 120 feet. Does that sound accurate? Or do you think more or less?
