Need a little more input

chivasreal · 11-16-2009, 10:17 AM

Hey guys I'm about to do my brakes on my 92 n/a mr2 but I'm not sure which way to go. On one hand I could do n/a rotors, pads, ss brake lines, and a good bleed job. I know that's more than enough for n/a. And on the other hand I can do the 93+ turbo brakes.
For the people that have done the 93+turbo brakes, you need 93+turbo rotors, pads, bracket, ss lines, and the bleed job? I've also heard about replecing the master cylinder. Also does it look nice and was it worth it?

I mostly just use the mr2 around town. It's my daily driver.
Thanks guys

For your application it probably is not worth it unless you drive around town like a crazy person. You could do it and it would look better (rotors and caliper are larger) if you have some rims. Are you planning on a swap or something later? You should, but do not have to, replace the master cylinder and brake proportioning valve. For the money, I would just get some better pads, rotors, and brake fluid. That with the SS lines, you will notice a siginificant difference in braking power.

I will be doing the swap but first I want to work on the brakes then suspenstion. Thanks for the input. I think I'll be going with the bigger ones. Going for looks

you've got all the brakes you'll ever need for an NA with a simple pad upgrade, line upgrade, fresh blank rotors, and fresh nice high-temp fluid. Can't argue with you on looks though
