LB 110 Coupe CA18DE install

Subject: LB 110 Coupe CA18DE install

So I bought an LB110 coupe in 2008 for $200 and have been sitting on it until I had time and money to get it going. I got a great deal on an s13 NA CA18DE motor swap and since I have been hoarding parts for this project for a while I thought it best to start in on it now.

I know what I need as far as mounting the motor, frankly fabbing up for the mounts isn't even a concern of mine. I also picked up a stronger H165 Axle out of a 1978 S10 200SX(silvia). (Quite a rare find might I add)

I do need some advice on brakes. I've been pouring over the Tech Wiki for a while but I'm not sure what direction to turn. The brakes worked actually real good when I got the car and from 100mph with the old A12 it stopped just fine. I don't compete with the car, but want something fun to drive and good looking. But, now I wonder if the brakes will be up to task. Not sure if I just want to get the motor in and tackle it later or not.
