Yes you're right, AEM makes one.

Stainless Steel Brakes Corp. also makes a kit, and Mark has posted a group buy here on 7thGenCivic.com for a 10% discount if we could ever get 5 people to buy their brand, which looks sweet. They offer an option where they will powdercoat the calipers for you in red, black, yellow, blue, orange, or silver. Here are pics of the Civic brakes they did for APC:





Wilwood makes a kit for Civics also which looks awesome. A lot of older members know that we have that brand on our 5th gen hatchback. It is listed as a race kit and it doesn't make many concessions for the street, but by gosh it stops darn good :devil: Here is the picture from my "member's rides" gallery:

At this point, Wilwood seems to be favored over AEM's. I'd like to see how people would compare Wilwood to SSBC.

My son got a hookup thru his car club, but the Wilwoods usually run about the same as the Stainless Steel Brakes ($750-$850) when you order the "optional" braided SS lines. Some of the larger vendors are Mantaray Motorsports Racing http://www.mmrusa.com/wilwood.htm and Precision Brakes Company http://www.precisionbrakescompany.com/civic.html


I'd like to see how people would compare Wilwood to SSBC.
If I ever get any more extra money I really want to get the SSBC for the 7th Gen since the 5th Gen already has Wilwoods.
