i've been thinking of doing this myself. I've heard on the forums somewhere that people complain about the civic brakes not being very responsive on long car trips. fortunately, i haven't had such an experience.
Yea the OEM pads are pretty dodgy as they heat up really quick.
I've changed mine to spoon EK9 pads, although they need a little custom work done. But they are GREAT!
FA: did you just have to alter the actual pad? thanks for the reply :)
dmx: yah looking at ssbh :), what is a ferrodo? and yah i wish bbk haha seen the ap ones? massive!
The actual pad itself had to be shaved a lil as our pads dont have this "fin" on the edge of the pad... (think of the mugen lip), those had to be shaved off and fits perfectly
ahh i get you, thanks! :D
sorry for reviving an old thread.
Can any FD1 owners confirm brake pads front & rear in bendix part numbers? I do not think what they have online is accurate
FD1 runs on a R18 engine if this helps
Bendix - Front DB1191 / Rear DB2177
