Can you get bigger rotors? Braking is poor due to such a small rotor size. I thought I had seen someone talking about it on here. |

99 brakes are nothing like 91 brakes. 91 are hub-over-rotor and solid, unvented rotors. If you want to upgrade to the vented style, you can either get 95+ brake components and use camber bolts, or, get the brake setup from a convertible OR Suzuki Swift in the older years, no camber bolts required. This will, however, give you 12mm lug bolts - can't use the OEM 12" wheels anymore. Lug holes too small. Have to upgrade to 13" wheels, as well. |

the vert knuckle and brake upgrade gets you better wheel bearings, larger diameter ventilated rotors, and like melanie stated, 12mm lugs. use the vert drums, too. i happen to have the brakes from my vert that were upgraded to the next level when i swapped in the twincam which is the 4 wheel disc gt brakes. someone close to columbus ohio should buy these for their base model hatchback.
