e-brake is the american name for handbrake
Edle = handle.
Esome = handsome.
Ejob = handjob.
Ewriting = handwriting.
Eover = handover.
Eout = handout.

dayum not worth it if you have to lose ebrake lol

oem or nothing at all lol, unless your making some serious power or are taking your car religiously to all the track meets the stock front and rear discs will be adequate

suspension, brakes, tyres

I will have some serious power aiming between 230-250whp and will be tracking the car. so was after something fairly good for the rear over stock since the front is already covered.
Thanks

Hey, thanks for all the input, does anyone know the calliper mounting bolt difference between front and rear calipers for a gli civic with vti-r rears, would that work?

I cant see the rear being a problem if youve at least changed the pads and rotors are in good nick, Ive never seen anyone go all out in the rear to be honest
