Is it a hatch? sedan? gli or cxi or vti?

[Alvis]

I can only speak for sedans - GLi and VTi's all came with 4 disk brakes.

Off memory I think CXi hatchbacks came with drums, other variants had disks all 'round - can someone confirm?

[henrygiang]

ej8 came with rear drums, em1 cam with disks all round

[TheSaint]

D16y8 only ever came in the coupe VTI (EK8) - the sedan VTI got the D16y5 and the average gearbox

early GLI did have drums in the back and as far as i know ABS was an option on all models from the EK up

the D16y1 / D16z6 is from the EG VTI

sounds like the car was in an accident and patched up by a wrecker lol

are drums really that bad compared to disks...?

[mugen_ctr]

day to day its alright, but spirited driving, it really caves in... cant stop as much as u like... which is dangerous

Short answer: Yes

IMO Honda shouldn't have cheaped put on the EJ8 Coupe. Same with EM1 seats. Penny pinching.

youre kidding right?

change front pads and rotors, then get wheels that can vent better

Ive taken my car to lakeside for the whole day and no issues, drive at a pace that is spirited, driven over most of the eastern parts of oz, not a problem with the brakes and have kept the car in good nick and its at 300,000kms

engine braking helps too

Ive never seen a gli with drums... sounds like someone has done what Ive considered and bought one, swapped their drums for the gli's disc conversion and flogged it off, which no one would ever pick up
