I dont mind them, I have hawk HPS brake pads, and my car stops great. Besides, the drums only contribute to like 30% of the braking.

But you know these cars are cheap, so thats why they used them.

mine had alloys just because its an ex doesnt mean it comes with alloys. they're an option which amounts to more money, so you basically get what you pay for.

yah, but to get the Honda alloys, you're paying more.

I figured, why pay the extra for the honda alloys? I put that money toward rims & tires that I wanted. I had hubs on my 02.

Oh yeah almost forgot about the HX. That car came standard with 14 inch alloys since 96. And the Hybrid too.

That pisses me off too! the Civic could be a lot better car, if Honda kept some of the items that they've had on it in the past. my friend as a 5th gen lx, and it has rear discs!!! so do others from that same gen that I see! Also, for the trunk, the civic used to have trunk shocks, so the damn trunk lid wouldn't smack you upside the head when parked facing uphill!!! also, i liked the civic when it was a little lower in the passenger area. it's bee raised 3 inches.

those are just three of the things that i've noticed about it.

Get an 01-04 Acura EL rear disc conversion and you won't have that problem.

I'm almost positive they're HIDs.

AND I thought that what Mr. Modify said about the "did someone surprise you with the hubcaps" thing was funny as hell!
