Civic Big Brake Kit Front

Big Brake Kit Front for the Honda Civic: six piston calipers on two piece floating discs with braided hoses and performance pads.

More brake means more thermal capacity rather than more stopping power from a single stop; the tyres decide that. Big brake kits matter on track and on heavy cars that are driven hard, and they need wheels that clear them. Every kit here lists the minimum wheel size. The tenth and eleventh generation Civic share much of their chassis with the Type R, which makes the good parts easy to find.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 4 hours. Japanese manufacturers change parts by build date and by market, and grey imports add a second layer to that. Send the VIN or chassis number with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. For imported cars send the chassis plate, because the UK registration will not tell us enough. We are an independent parts specialist for Japanese cars. We are not Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru or Mitsubishi and are not appointed by any of them; the names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. We stock genuine, OEM and quality aftermarket side by side and every listing says which is which, because the price difference is real and so, sometimes, is the quality difference. Performance modifications must be declared to your insurer before you drive the car. Most specialist insurers are happy with sensible parts; an undeclared modification can void a claim entirely. We do not sell decat pipes, particulate filter deletes, EGR blanks, emulators, or crackle and pop calibrations. They are illegal on a road car in the UK, an MOT failure and they void insurance. Every performance part here keeps the emissions equipment working.
