that all depends on your local shop I spent 1700.00 for the TCI kit, installation, my half shafts and my block gaurd and even got a warranty with all that.

First off its the parts for an integra not an SI and the kit is complete. The front kit was a straight bolt on as well.



Standard rear disc brake kits include everything needed to equip your vehicle with performance rear disc brakes. The single piston cast iron caliper features built-in parking brake, and also provides up to 30% more clamping power than factory calipers. The slotted rotors will keep your brakes looking and running cool. Upgrade your rear brakes to these larger brake kits for more stopping power! The

*

Cast Iron Single Piston Caliper
*

Built-In Parking Brake
*

12-Inch Xtra Life Plated Slotted Rotors
*

Mounting Brackets & Pads
*

All Required Mounts & Hardware


Installation: Most SSBC kits are bolt-on factory replacements, installs just like factory parts!

Tech Notes: DOT street legal

LMAO you just proved my point right there in the installation quote. You have to already have rear discs for these to work. And yes, our rear disc conversion comes from the SI.

no you do not have to have disc brakes already in order to use this kit. I know because we installed on one car and its a direct replacement for the drum. The kit from SSBC is the same kit that fits a 94 integra. If your interested in them say so if not stop posting in the thread and use PM or e-mail.

do they have this overhaul kit for manual transmissions? and would this kit make it able to handle up to 300hp and more? ive been told our trannys only hold 300 hp around that.

oh and are you boosting 12psi on a fully stock motor?
