bit dopey in the morning when its cold, but after they warm up i can already tell they are quite good lol

cant wait to STOMP it though :P

For anyone who wants to do a pad swap later on in fd1's and wants info one what pad and what anti rattle shim im using:

- pads are from accord euro (CL7)
- anti rattle shim is from a BB4 Prelude.

With these parts, you dont need to modify or much around with anything. just straight swap and fit.

will give you guys a review as soon as i get it out on barbs!

i reckon there is still a lack in aftermarket parts for the fd1...im looking at getting headers and fullcat back but all i can think of is a custom made one...and also...has anyone thought of putting a k20a in it?

haha...that would be awesome

yeah, somehow ppl from overseas (e.g. Singapore) got more mods parts than us... this forum says it all...http://eightgc2.forumup.com

So hopefuly in the near future our OZ Honda traders can supply parts from Singapore as well

howdy lads.........Took the car out for a quick thrash on sat morning after putting around 200km on them.

Ride is about 15-20% better in terms of bumpiness believe it or not. I think it's due to just the fact of having more tread and maybe stiffer side walls. Steering and suspension wheel doesn't seem to vibrate as much now.

Road noise is still the same on hwy speeds.

GRIP - It's improved heaps. Before if I power out of a tight corner I can get the inner wheel just spinning because it was just loosing traction. Now smashing it mid corner on exits theres so much grip I can even steer the car into a tighter line with NO UNDERSTEER..........I'm pretty impressed and thats with the tyres not fully worn in yet I'm sure.

Looking forward to taking it to wakie soon to see if i can hammer a 1:17 out of it..........pipedream : ).

**ej20i** · 22-09-2008 10:34 AM

are you serious?............maybe I was exagerating as it might have taken me about 8 laps to totally smoke up the stock pads on the 06-sports we had. came into the pits and I saw smoke from the front and I was pissing myself..........hahahha went out and had a look and the pads were kinda on fire almost. got a 1:20xx that time.

snap.......$320 sounds like full race pads.........i need something abit st friendly.

**rk 86 wa** · 22-09-2008 12:38 PM

yah, a bit exy but wasnt going to go out and not have fun with stock pads :P

plus i couldnt find ANY OTHER PADS for Fds lol

but to be honest, once they warm up they are damn good.

even if it is like freezing cold, if you drive normally, they are no problem at all.
