On the same subject, has anyone tried the new black AEM brakes? I know they were re-done and the crossdrilling was omitted, just curious if anyone has them yet.

IMO..I think you should save up and get a WIlwood Brake Kit instead. That comes with a 4-Piston Caliper and 12" rotor instead of rotor only. The kit is fairly cheap too, just about 1-2 more bills for it then an AEM kit. I have it and think its awesome. Kit code for the Wilwood is 140-6163-D

Yes. They work with the stock calipers. RedDragon333 has them on his car, and I'm sure there's a few others too.

How's the braking with those? They look hot! Mind if I ask how much that set you back?

i think our cars look weird with big brake kits in the since we only have drums in the back.. if we had disc in the back it would be so much better!..

I was just looking on AEM's website and they have the drum to disc conversion set up. But in the applications they have no listing for the 7thgen. So for now I guess they arent making it.....I would get it if they did. I dont understand why our cars do not have 4 wheel disc...my 94 ex civic coupe had 4 wheel disc. Why would honda take it away......This is the next thing I am going to do....Bigger Brakes.....rotors...and calipers....Just gotta save
