Rep Power: 0 is this the only kit out right now? if it is i guess it's better then retro fitting 03 Si rear discs or getting the mounting bracket and equipping aftermarket 03 rear brakes.

Rep Power: 350 they look kinda cheap to me i think ill wait for AEM, plus you have to take into consideration you need the rest of the parts to convert your rear drums to discs, brake lines and etc.its gonna cost you quite a bit more. But good post tho
just not for me, you could always take the SI rear disc brakes and do it that way

Rep Power: 0 red: it says all hardware included. y would you need any extra hardware to convert the rears. also i heard AEM increases your braking distances... so i'm not going to get those. look in the march mag of Super Street. there's an article in there that has the 03 Si with them on. obviously not cheap enough not to be in SS mag...

Rep Power: 279 I posted this in another thread the other day... and someone called them and I think they said that they are not out yet. So you may want to call first.

Rep Power: 0 question:
If i decide to get that kit for my car...after i have it installed, can i upgrade to bigger discs, or better calipers from another company? See what im saying? Use the stuff they give you for the conversion, then upgrade with maybe a better company? Also, is it a set of 4 disc brakes? Or do they move your stock discs to the rear and put the big ones in the front?
Thanks
Cheers~

beg to differ on the increase of braking distance i have just the front set and it lowers the distance!!! and all i said is they look cheap, its just my opinion

Rep Power: 279 When the kit is put out, it will have like 12 inch discs for the rear.. I dont see why on earth you would ever want to go bigger than that on the rear of a 120hp civic 
And rear kits are totally seprate from the fronts. It has nothing to do with the fronts at all. Later
