Wilwood brake install on 01 civic in SCC

Has this topic not been brought up yet, they have a installation guide to adding a Wilwood big brake kit on this black 2001 Civic w/ Nitrous in the Oct. 2002 issue of Sport Compact Car. Its pretty interesting, there arent many articles address to 7th generation Civics in SCC.

Precision brake company makes a from kit for our car. They also make a rear drum to disc conversion kit. Both sell for about $1000. They are 13" discs for both the front and rear. With the rear kit you can either get the four pot wilwood calipers or a single pot caliper. With the four pot you lose the E-Brake though. With the single pot you can keep the E-Brake. It comes with everything you will need including the braided lines and the proportioning valves. I would take these kits over the AEM anyday. Precision Brakes Company

I would take the wilwoods over the AEM. Wilwood has brake components on more American race cars than any other company
