You can buy the brackets to use 11.6 rotors in the rear from SHO Source. I did it with mine but I upgraded everything; all new Hawk pads, 96 upgrade in the front and 11.6 in the rear with Centric Rotors all around and SS brake lines. Car does stop considerably better than ever but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with bigger rotors in the rear. I do notice alot more brake dust in the rear though, and it also looks alot better with the bigger rotors.

There is a way to upgrade the rear to the 96 11.6" rotors. I am not sure, but SHOsource or SHOnutperformance may sell the kit.

Great buy on the Koni's. Subfram connectors for sure. Best bang for the buck susp mod out there. Do it now, you will be glad you did.

Sounds like your steering issue is the VSS (speed sensor). Properly disabling the VAPS should have an effect, so perhaps the tie-rod ends should be looked at, as well as tire wear and alignment issues.

As for your suspension your going to have to jack up the front and see where the play is coming from. It could be inner or outer tie rod ends, ball joints and even bad wheel bearings.

yea cause is was scary driving with vaps on and all the play in and the drop off of steering its still a a lil scary ya SS brake lines are on the list yea just wanted to see if i could swap the 10.6 ones into the back i mean their new came with the car when i bought it dimple and slotted. mmm totally honesty can a sho handle as nice as a honda i had a 98 prelude no mods to suspension expect 17x8 wheels 5zigen just had new engine from *** I/H/E i mean even with that the sho feels alot faster but kinda feels like a pig.....subframe flex soo thats on the list think ill just save up for a month or 2 and get the whole kit i see on shosource for 400 buxs i already got the ALFSB those are some nice pieces quality stuff

The only upgrade you can do do the rear is the 11.6 upgrade which we sell at SHO Source.
