Acura Integra Type S Brake Kit Guide: Beyond the Factory Brembos

The Integra Type S already ships with factory Brembo front calipers, which is exactly why most owners assume the brakes don't need attention. On track days and autocross runs, though, the weak link is almost never caliper clamping force — it's the rotor metallurgy and pad compound behind those calipers, both of which are still cost-targeted OEM parts.

Ghost Brakes offers a complete bolt-on brake kit for the Acura Integra Type S — G11H18 drilled and slotted rotors with carbon ceramic pads engineered to work with the factory Brembo caliper, GEOMET coating, and a lifetime warranty. No caliper swap required.

Why the Type S Still Fades on Track Days, Even With Brembos

The Integra Type S is a front-wheel-drive platform carrying a 320-horsepower turbo four, which means the front axle is doing almost all the braking and cornering work at once — a much harder job than the rear axle on the same car. Repeated hot laps heat-soak the factory pad compound behind those Brembo calipers, and fade shows up as a soft, long pedal exactly when a driver needs trail-braking confidence into a corner.

Ghost Brakes addresses that with a matched rotor-and-pad system: drilled and slotted rotors for heat evacuation, GEOMET coating for corrosion resistance, and carbon ceramic pads built to hold consistent bite behind the factory calipers instead of fading lap after lap.

What's in the Ghost Brakes Integra Type S Kit

• G11H18 drilled and slotted rotors (front and rear)
• Carbon ceramic brake pads — matched compound for the factory Brembo caliper
• GEOMET full-surface corrosion coating
• All necessary hardware included
• Lifetime warranty — no mileage caps, track use included
• Free shipping

Installation and Bedding

Ghost Brakes Integra Type S kits bolt directly to the factory Brembo caliper carrier — no bracket swaps, no spacers. Install with standard hand tools; follow our bedding procedure before your first track day or autocross event on the new setup.

FWD Torque Steer Under Hard Braking

Front-heavy weight bias and FWD layout mean a Type S under hard trail-braking is more sensitive to uneven pad bite than a comparable RWD or AWD platform. A more consistent, fade-resistant compound reduces that unevenness, giving drivers a more predictable pedal feel entering a corner at speed.

Confirm Fitment Before You Order

Because the Type S ships from the factory with the Brembo caliper as standard equipment across the trim, fitment is consistent year to year — but always confirm your exact production year on the fitment page before ordering, since Acura has made small running changes to the platform since launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What brake kit fits an Acura Integra Type S?

Ghost Brakes offers G11H18 drilled and slotted rotors with carbon ceramic pads engineered to work with the Integra Type S’s factory Brembo calipers. Use our shop-by-car page or vehicle selector to confirm exact fitment.

Does the Integra Type S need a brake upgrade if it already has Brembos?

Yes, for track and autocross use. Factory Brembo calipers provide strong clamping force, but the rotor metallurgy and pad compound behind them are still cost-targeted OEM parts. Repeated hot laps glaze factory pads and can warp factory rotors well before the calipers themselves are the limiting factor.

Are Ghost Brakes Integra Type S kits bolt-on?

Yes. Ghost Brakes Integra Type S kits bolt directly onto the factory Brembo calipers — no bracket swaps or spacers required. Includes rotors, pads, and hardware. Free shipping and lifetime warranty.

Will a brake upgrade help with torque steer under hard braking?

A more consistent, fade-resistant pad and rotor pairing reduces the uneven bite that can make a FWD platform pull under hard trail-braking, though it does not eliminate the front-heavy weight bias inherent to the layout.

Do Integra Type S kits include pads?

Yes. Every Ghost Brakes Integra Type S kit includes matched carbon ceramic brake pads engineered for our rotor face — not a separate purchase.

What is the warranty on Integra Type S Ghost Brakes kits?

Ghost Brakes provides a lifetime warranty on all rotors and pads with no mileage or time limits on manufacturing defects, including track-driven cars. Free shipping on all orders.

Acura Integra Type S Brake Kit Shopping Checklist

Before you add a acura integra type s brake kit to cart, confirm rotor diameter, hat height, and pad shape for your exact year and performance package. Optional packages (sport brakes, track packages, tow packages) can change front rotor size even when the model name on the window sticker looks the same. Use our Acura Integra Type S shop-by-car page to filter live SKUs, or open the year-specific fitment link from that hub if you already know your trim.

Match rotors and pads as a set whenever possible. Fresh pads on worn or heat-checked rotors transfer uneven friction material and feel like "warp" within a few hundred miles. Ghost Brakes kits ship matched G11H18 rotors (or 2-piece fronts where offered) with carbon ceramic pads so thermal capacity and friction stay balanced axle to axle.

Compare tier choices in our 2-piece vs 1-piece rotor guide and read Ghost Brakes vs Brembo if you are deciding between dealer OEM replacements and a performance-minded upgrade that still bolts to factory calipers.

Install, Bedding, and When to Upgrade Acura Integra Type S Brakes

Plan on a standard brake service timeline: clean hub faces, replace hardware where included, torque lugs to spec, and bed pads using the steps in our performance rotor break-in guide. Skipping bedding is the fastest way to get noise, dust, or a long pedal on otherwise good hardware — especially on heavier or AWD variants where the front axle does most of the work.

Upgrade when you feel fade on repeated hard stops, see blueing on factory rotors, or fight constant dust on expensive wheels. Maintenance intervals alone do not tell the whole story for enthusiast driving. When you are ready to order, browse the full brake kit catalog or return to the Acura Integra Type S hub for model-filtered kits.
