My Mx-3 with the PBR pads braked awesome. Had cross-drilled and slotted rotors, but not sure if that helped. Getting the cheapies at your local parts store will of course not brake that well. Given the age of the car, that's probably what most Mx-3's have on them.

Absolutely, alot has changed in 20 years. But you weren't talking about the technology, you were saying that an SI would be faster than a ZE Mx-3, it's not, but of course new cars will have more potential; it's pretty much a given.

It's not really the computer, it's the engine. The manufacturers (Honda in thise case) actually limit the power through the computer because of how much potential the motor has. It''s not the computer that's doing it, but you can thank those that hacked the Honda ECM.
An Mx-3 doesn't need twin piston brakes, or a big brake kit. As long as you're braking system is working good, you've got some good lines, performance pads and rotors, maybe go to Dot4 and you're all set. It doesn't matter how many pistons you have, it's the pads and rotors that do the braking.
