[hr]Good evidence here that there is nothing wrong with OEM Honda brakes. Its just the tires! With no changes to the standard disc/drum/ABS combo on the EX, we recorded very good stopping distances. The best 119 ft puts the Performance Package less than 10 ft off of what a stock S2000 can achieve. Not that we expect the Civic PP to be able to repeatedly stop in that distance without fade.
Peak lateral accel G (clockwise): 1.058 G
Peak lateral accel G (counterclockwise): 0.989 G
Avg lateral accel G (both directions): 1.024 G [hr]

Rep Power: 0 Last time I was at my dealer they had an '02 Civic Ex with the "Factory Performance" package on it & the sticker on that car was a tad bit under $23,000. & those wheels in that picture up there were on the car at my dealer as well so I assume they are standard on the "Factory Performance" cars.

119 ft is impressive braking performance--especially with rear drums.

if they added a beefier rear antisway, the car could probably handle a lot better.[hr]
