Big Brake Kits
#28
Bud someone already said what to do, put the brake off of a Prelude, (if I remember correctly the 93-95 Prelude are 4 bolt and will bolt on faily easily) save's you hundreds of $ for other stuff and gets the job done very well!

you guys are nerds. the HP you have has nothing to do with what kind of brakes you need. a stock civic can do a buck ninety, you don't need 30 thousand horsepower to go 'too fast'.
civics are fantastic cars because they are relatively lightweight. lightweight cars stop well, but with just a lil work they can stop better. I DO recommend the Accord Wagon calipers and the 11.1 inch rotors, with a minimum 15/16 master cylinder, and rear disks. that would be my street setup of choice.
however, it all depends on how and where you drive. for example, my daily driver has $20 motomaster (made in china) rotors with $45 NAPA pads. that's because I drive that car like grandma would. so again, what YOU do is a personal choice.

I agree with bbarbulo 100%. Just cause you dont have 500hp doesnt mean you wouldnt want good brakes. All depends on your driving.
If you want them and can afford them, why not? All it will do is make it a bit safer for you. Might not have the "bling" factor as new rims, or lips or anything like that but who cares.
I bought a brake upgrade and after having them on for a bit I can't imagine not having them anymore. I think for any car I get in the future or anything like that good brakes will be one of my first modifications.
I say go for it dude, but dont waste your money on those wilwood or aem brake kits. You can modify integra spindles to accept bigger rotors.
But honestly man, some new blank rotors, invest in some really good pads and fluid and maybe a new MC/BB with the 40/40 prop valve and your set.
