Rotors/Brakes/Pads

Hey,

Ok guys a serious thread now, so my discs/pads have completly gone now i was looking at some EBC discs and pads but this is gonna set me back £400 for front and rear dark diamond disks and green stuff pads.

What i wanna know is can i get a big brake kit or cheaper better rotors? in the uk i've done some serious searching on google and all sorts of websites but the UK as you should know is **** for EM2 parts i mean hell they dont even sell the 2003-2005 model over here.


Anyway any help would be appcriated

Tom

Re: Rotors/Brakes/Pads

Do you have upgraded rims? If not, the big brake kit won't fit on your stock rims. Brembo blanks rotors and whatever pads whether they be EBC or Hawk, will be a great setup.

Re: Rotors/Brakes/Pads

I would call and ask I don't see why not they normally ship via fed ex. If you call in 45 mins they should be available to talk to I know the UK is about 5 hours ahead.

Re: Rotors/Brakes/Pads

I would honestly stay away from cross drilled/slotted rotors and just stick to blank rotors or slotted. Over hear in the US the cheap rotors tend to warp rather easily and I doubt our civics generate so much heat to reap the benefits from cross drilled/slotted setup. If you think it's good quality and you have the "quid" I say go for it. I'll continue to look for some reliable vendors you can purchase from. Good luck!

Greatly apprciate the help, i wont be buying anything till this weekend so gives me and you a few days to source some good parts, feel free to suggest something.
I do rather like the idea of trueHonda's big brake powerslot kit... but again i think im gonna have to phone them up later to see if they ship out.
As for those EBC dark Diamonds, over here they are the best brakes you can buy i will probably stick to just slotted rotors as there is no need for drilled... its just for show really.
Thanks again for your help.

Tom
