well in my opinion you pay for what you get cheap=cheap product. but those are good. I hope you have some rims cause 12inches seems alil to big in my opinion unless thats the stock size discs civics have. But if you got the money then i would get them

I would go for it if it were me tho i woould save a bit more and go with the AEM big brake rotor upgrade but i could be biast since thats what i have(pics in members ride) but you get what you pay for in this "game" you want something cheap your gonne get cheap. just make sure if you get those that you have at LEAST a 16in wheel for them to fit inside. But if you do decide to get them i would highly recomend the AEM they are a great buy

And then there's the Wilwood kit that comes with the Caliper upgrade too. And it isn't much more than the AEM rotors themselves. The Wilwoods will fit under some 16's but you should probably have 17's for these. The Wilwood kit is on my list along with hopefully converting the rears to EP hatch discs.

I gotta question. Adding a big brake kit, wont that add weight? Wont it make you car slower?

You sacrifice a few pounds to gain the ability to stop much quicker. Acceleration wise, you may slow down a very small amount, but you can carry speed deeper into corners before having to brake, and be on the brakes for less time which leads to faster track times.

What about brembo, do they make a kit for the 7th gen yet? They're hella expensive, but they're really good, also, is a 15" rotor the biggest you can fit in a 18" rim?
