just to share my experience bro.. brembo std/max is pretty similar to the oem.
so no point getting any of em unless ur trying to replace the existing one cos of warp/damage.

better change the whole system and definitely feel the different.
just my 2cents. cheerio.

es2611: owh really? i thot that it should be better. thanks for the info. do you know any shops selling brembo kit that fits directly without needing any mod?

thanks guys

im not quite sure where u can get those brembo kits but i think sure one of the shop in sunway got it.
the halfcut brembo pointed by peterj can be used but u gotta fabricate the adapters only.

if our looking for cheap/easy solution, buy a better brand brake pads + ss braided hoses.
i did dat and satisfied with it.

Yes... u r so so right. Last time in my wira EVO3 from stock brakes i change to 4 pot caliper GRIPPEN...it feels not much difference against the original. Now i drive Volvo S80....stock brakes....even better. Best part it....my car more silent....no more LOUD LOUD exhaust system ;-)

for me, i think 2wd with stock engine, stock brake, good pads, steel braided hose,upgraded brake servo is enough already.... if got extra budget, go change absober and tyres cause they affect braking also although not big.....

for 2wd with high horses, or 4wd car, sometimes stock brake, good pads, steel braided hose,upgraded brake servo is still not enough..... example, my car with evo 4 engine inside,4wd,with front e4 2 pot(294mm disc, bigger then e3),rear e3 disc brake, still not enough,even with steel hose,evo servo, metal king titanium pads all 4 wheels....feel got force pushing forward even brake already......

i think thread starter is going for stylish instead of effective usage? is it?

stylish is not counted,cause those big brake kits like brembo,endless, ap racing really a poison

what brake pads do you guys recommend to be used with civic FD?

 

[peterj]

there is no brake pad that suitable for certain type of cars, only depend what ur driving style, and what ur requirement, if u drive normally, no high speed braking all the way, slow slow je, stock or 0-300'c pads are enough.... if always hard, high speed braking, drive like in track on the road, at least 0-500'c pads, like"budget pads" (bendix metal king,bendix ultimate,imp..),"branded"( ebc, endless, ferodo)......

btw, i think ur car is normal civic not tyre R right? so the power output seems easily be handled by stock brake je, just upgrade those stuff like we mentioned above, if still not enough, can consider go for aftermarket rotor, slotted and cross drilled, dun slot and cross drill ur current rotor cause it seems thin already...... cause brembo cost a bom nowadays, i currently bought set of brembo, rotor with caliper, rm2k ,that is the lowest price i get, u need service the caliper,reskim the disc, + labour.... the cost of this i think enough for u to do those upgrade ,maybe got some left in ur pocket..... but if u really got lots of $$ and really poisoned, just go for it

I think imo if you need 6 pot brembos in a standard FD2 auto...

Either your driving is really dangerous or honda's brakes are effing bad . Haha jokes jokes, why not try EBC greenstuff pads + a SS line upgrade? Its pretty grippy.
