The stock pads can't take the heat, they glaze over in no time... niether can the rotors apparently, I cracked mine.
Brembo Blanks and either Hawk HP, Porterfield R4-S or Axxis Ultimates.

Rep Power: 424 If you have an LX, HX, or DX, and you're staying in stock class, then yeah, use the lightest 14x5.5 rims you can get. Those, the new HX wheels or the Civic Hybrid wheels. If you're not running stock, you want something wider.

Rep Power: 424 Stock class requires you to use a rim the same size as stock... meaning if you have a 15x6 rim (which you do), then you need to use that size, and no other size. If you're running STS, then you could use the wheel, but its not really to your advantage because its a thinner rim, and what you want is a wider one.

Rep Power: 424 You can't run a stock class.
Stock class provides for FACTORY installed (like the Corvette Z51 package) options. Since the FP kit is a dealer added option, you can't use it in a stock class. STS is the lowest class you can start in.

okay thanks. Well I bought the car and it already has an intake and skunk 2 lowering springs. It is really smooth handling and feels nice. i was considering putting the stock springs back on and the intake so I could run stock. Since i cant race stock anyways i will at least keep the intake. I see the common advice given is to run stock, since the work is already done and it is the only way I have ever driven the car, should i just keep the springs on too or should I go back to stock springs/struts?

Rep Power: 424 run what you got. No sense going back to stock if what you have is the only thing you're used to. You're not going to come close to winning in your first season anyways, so just worry about having fun.
