97 brakes

ok so heres the deal. I was going to upgrade the brakes on my car. I have a 97 3.0 So... I know you have to press the rotor off blah blah. I might as well just convert to the 98/99 brakes yes? So, what all is involved in doing this? I need to buy two 98/99 hubs and then some 98/99 or equivalent discs right? What about caliper mounts and what not? Let me know. Also, if I do this swap... what is the best route to go for a big brake kit that isnt more than the car is worth.

why replace it to 98/99? just get 97 discs...

IMO..dont waste your money.. your not gonna gain anything significant out of changing to 98/99 discs.. cause my car stops hella slow and its a 98

as for getting bigger brakes.. you probably wanna look into prelude & legend parts

i was under the impression that the prelude brakes and stuff onlyl bolted up to the 98/99 caliper brackets requiring the change to those parts.

Stick with 97, not gonna gain much of anything IMO. And look for prelude rotors, but 3.0 rotors are just about the same size
