Lets see those pics!!! Mugen Big Brake 5 Bolt Kit on EG

http://www.jdmhondaparts.com/mugen/m...igbrakes_1.jpg

I plan on doing the swap then running 15" Konig Imagines (Black) on my car.. what do you think?

Along with the the mugen lip, spoon mirrors and spoon spoiler and lastly a c/f hood on my white hatch.. think it should look pretty good.

Cant wait until the summer lol

Then why buy crazy brakes if you wont have any use for them.

Imagines are nice rims.

The only thing is it will be a pain in the *** to clean in between all those spokes.

Ill be happy to pay for the swap if you want to pay for my tickets.. im a 19 yr old driving a 94 civic.. im a cop magnet as is.. all i need is a 220HP engine so i can run high 12's on rutherford.. To be honest id get them for show.. so far no one has post a pic of a EG with them.. Is that why you buy your big brake kits so you can go from 200 to 0 in 2 seconds? no you have em so your car stops faster period and for show.. same reason.. true they will be able to handle high speed stops as that is what they are meant for but not what im going to use them for as an everyday driver.

Dude with your respone it shows your 19 and from woodbridge i bet.

man you upgrade your brakes for better stopping "saftey" because you engine is not stock and your original brakes will not handle the pressure. if your looking for show why not AEM.

but watever its your money dude. but if i see a car with sick brakes and a stock little engine i would laugh and say to myself some ppl have 2much money but hey thats my opinion.

Rims are sweet and i bet your car will look very good once your done. just spend your money wisely.

after all its a civic and you never get your money back. so at least spend it on something usefull.

Why get a carbon fibre hood? or carbon fibre Spoiler? or the JDM Ambers? or the rims? for looks bro not because of the functionality of losing the weight (except for those few people who do get it for that exact reason).. its all about the look.. IMHO i think the mugens look MUCH better then the AEM. Anyways im off for a bit. Thx for the feedback.. still looking for pics

another good point is that the big rotors will look soooo mean with the 16"s on, cuz it'll fill up space and not look puny like the stock rotors do, seriously when my jetta had 17"s I loved them, but hated the fact that my rotors were soooo tiny, it sucked. Mendes bro I say if you like it, go for it, it's your car.

brakes and suspension are supposed to be first on the mods list anyways...if u cant stop or handle there is no sense in making power

brakes, suspension, engine...thats the order you are supposed to follow...too many people have quick cars that can out drive their brakes

the Mugen brake set is in good price but in my opinion i don't think that's useful since the cliepar is still a 2 pot .....only the apperance change does not worth it
