Ok so I would like to upgrade the brakes. Now I haven't done any major engine mods to really need the stopping power, but I have noticed that sometimes when I drive hard I would need to come to an acute stop and sometimes I hear this wierd kind of noise and the brakes don't hold properly. Could this be the ABS? If it is, it really scares me sometimes!!!

I'd basically like to get bigger rotors; drilled; is slotted recommended as well?
Also a set of brakes, preferably a bigger set to match the bigger rotors. I'd need 4 rotors; front & rear and 4 brake sets; front and rear because I have rotors in the front and rear and my car is a 4 wheel drive.

Could anyone shed some light on this?

It's tough with your model.....most people on here are going to know about parts for North American models......

let me get this straight...you have a 1.6L with AWD and 4 Wheel disk brakes, but its 4 lug ????

amrit

You got everything right, 'cept that it's a 1.5L.

You have to learn some jappannese and buy that stuff for the jdm pros. We really cant help you. Unless you luck out and some stuff is the exact same.

I think they should be. There was one guy I was in contact with who is from Japan, he would have been able to help me out alot but I kinda lost touch with him. Actually he didn't return a few of my msgs. I guess I was too anoying...LOL

The main problem you are going to have is that North American 4 Lug protege's do not have 4 Wheel Disk Brakes, or AWD.....The only way for you to be able to buy the same aftermarket parts as North American pro's would be to upgrade to 5 lug, and I dont know if the rear spindles would even work....

As stated previously, you need to look at JDM stuff, as you basically have a JDM Protege

Ok I'll have to start lookin' hard and fast for those things. I'll try to see if I could hook up with my friend from Japan.

amrit

Yeah mine is 1.5L. It did come in the 98 model but we get them in the 99 model too. There is also a 1.3L 99 model.

Thanks for the advice!
