    what yr model ek1 do you have as they have different size.
    Pre 97 smaller brake & rotor
    98 - 99 pot luck depending on the month which i haven't figured out
    00 and up - larger disc & rotor

    Also what do you mean by stock cap???

    bendix produce good stopping, low dust, low noise and durable brake pads at good prices,they have a range that goes up depending how serious you want to get.go into an auto parts store and ask to see the bendix range,or check out their website maybe.

    we use bendix at my workshop now,after going through bosch,ferodo and bursons pads,all of which had their downfalls.bendix proved to be the best medium quality,well priced pad you can get.....high quality is not suitable for street use so dont even go there

    just get some rda slotted rotors and some ferodo ts2000's or something and flush with honda oem brake fluid
    good pad/rotor combo without the jdm tax

    edit; also remember to have good tyres too.. stopping a car isn't about how big your brakes are

    yehh.. also interseted in the answer 2 this question..

    could you jus take off the stock ek1 caliper n rotor n replace with the ek4 ones? or would it b more beneficial if you change of the whole hub?

    Hey a me too here.. feeling like my brakes aren't as stoppy as they used to be so I'm guessing they're due for some work. Street use 00 EK1, is it a good idea to drive in to a place and go with what they have there or should I source parts from elsewhere? Sorry if I'm hijacking too. Could do with a good part/place (Brisbane) recommendation. Thanks!
