Hi guys, im pretty new to civic ownership, and its probably been asked before so if you guys have got a link to the asked question that would be great [sm=smiley20.gif]

but what are the possible upgrades using easily available, and affordableparts, so nothing like big wilwood setups, ive heard that DC2 stuff fits? is this true/worthwhile?

my brakes fade really bad, so a set of fast road pads would probably help, but i want to do something that will help in the future,

thanks a lot guys, and im loving civic ownership so far

cheers

Upgrading the brakes can get pretty expensive especially if you are going to with a big brake kit (like in the 1k range). You can get a set of performance pads for about $50 online. I have Hawk ceramic pads on my car and they work great.

 

thanks for the help, im realy looking at using genuine honda parts, eg DC2 front breakes or from the prelude...[sm=grin.gif] what other honda cars can i take the break setup off?? would i be able to still use my 15" wheels??

thanks alot

I think you call pull the brakes off an Integra (front and back). You could also do a 5 bolt conversion but then you will need new rims. However, I'm not positive if the Integra brakes that are 4 bolts are actually bigger than the Civic brakes but you can do a rear disc conversion if you use integra brakes. I think Si brakes will also work.

 

so would a 92DA integra work. i want to take the rear disc breaks off and put them on my 92 civic hatch

 

thanks everyone for all your help, ill look into the integra brakes
