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
DMAK... get them... ive had them on my car for two weeks now... my car stops like an M3... my best friends 95 240sx will 4 wheel disc cant stop as fast...we tested
BUT It takes 15 minutes todo the install.. if you know what ur doing that is... check out mine...


also.. does anyone know if mine are going the right direction
oh and... you must have alteast a15 inch rim on there.. otherwise it wont fit.... my 18s make the rotor look small in the opicture but in real life they loo k huge. Def get them

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.

Chenz, i can't c ur pics....but i am sure it looks very nice
where did u get them? and how much?
also r u sure 15" rims will fit, coz i don't have money for rims yet.....
i checked out the aem brake kit, it's like $100~$150 more expensive......so....i think tenzoR would be good for me.......

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?
