Welcome to the site. smile.gif What type of brake upgrade are you looking to do? Cross drilled & slotted rotors? better pads? Big Brake Kit? All 4 corners, or just the front? Drum to disc conversion?

Let us know what you're interested in doing, and we can help out a little more. cool.gif

I want cross drilled rotors, better pads, and better calipers.

If you can tell me how to change the drums to rotors, that would be Excellent.

Thanks smile.gif

A guy from Canada told me to use coupe 97-2001 brakes, just bolt on.
What do you think, are those breakes better than the accent 95 stock brakes?

Yeah, they're better, but you need to replace your spindle, hub, rotors, and calipers with Tiburon (Coupe) parts. Individual parts are not interchangeable alone. I think you have to use parts from an RD or RD2 Tib for the swap, or also some years of Elantras that I'm not sure about.
