Standard brakes 06 civic vs Euro

[MKI4EVA]

does anyone know what the size differences are in terms of brakes for these two cars?

Would have been soooo much better if the civic had the braking capacity of the euro.

I'm keen to try different pads for the civic when they wear out. The initial bite in the civic pads is not as good as what I think it should be. And yes the brakes have been run in, 1300km since last tuesday week.

Go for proper aftermarket pads first. The Euro's pads have initial bite, but not much more after that. Plus, once you cook the Euro's pads, you lose braking capacity because the pad material gets "burnt" and becomes a little softer.

Get some "Endless" road pads ftw. You dont want racing pads since they dont perform well when cold.
