Yes they have RHD and LHD. The only remaining RHD countries in Europe are UK, the Republic of Ireland, Malta and Cyprus. (I had to google it I'm not that smart.)

I finally picked up some rear disks for my car. Lots of cleaning, sanding, painting to do on them, but can't wait to get it done. I'm going to order a new MC and prop valve before I put them on too. First mod on my car in almost 2 years.... Feels good to buy something for the old car.

Nice! Rear brakes look so much better than the ugly drums. No offense to those that have drums

Nope... You can kind of see the drums in this pic-

My e-brake hasn't worked in years and the rear pads are starting to go bad again, so I figured I might as well upgrade everything finally. I need a new Master Cylinder and I'll just change it all out at once, flush the brake fluid and it should feel really nice after all that.

I know how you feel. My daily's drums are shot. I don't want to change em. I've adjusted the ebrake to the max and I still crank it all the way up and it doesn't lock . It'll look great when complete

Nice yes it does. I also thought you had disks, I guess I was paying so much attention on the wheels I didn't look at the rear brakes. I do remember you painting your front calipers silver (correct?) I believe that's where I got the idea to do the same to mine because it's looks so clean. I love the way brand new Honda calipers look but you can't clean them enough to make them look like that again, so silver will do.

With some nice shoes/drums they can be just as effective if not used as much

Lmao just a firm beliver in weight reduction. I could go on all day about it p2w ratio, gas mileage, etc, not to mention the fact that ill probly never have to touch the drums for another tens years now that I replaced them.

Literally the only thing I can say justifies the rear disk is the look. Which if y'all couldn't tell I'm not too worried about it lol

Fun fact! Did you know during tests the crx and civic had shorter stopping distance with drums than the disks?

i dont quite get what your saying here, please explain. You're saying that you were contemplating going back to stock because of weight reduction but why would weight reduction matter unless your road racing/ autox'ing?

one of the main reasons i would rather have disc's on a daily just for the fact that changing a disc and a pad is ten times easy/faster than shoes and a drum.

another thing, aftermarket pads for discs are easy to get your hands on and alot cheaper if oem is not good enough for you

Yea but like I said how many times are u gonna have to change your pads compared to if you had shoes?

Shoes are just as easy to find, even aftermarket

Why wouldn't you want your car lighter for drag racing?

Lol told y'all I could go on all day about it. Majority of the info I learned from this site too lol

FYI for the master cylinder...I upgraded to a 15/16th mc since I kept blowing my stock 13/16th mc out. I'm pretty sure it was because I'm running the larger front brakes, (just like I see you are with the OEM DC2 10.2" front brakes). You'll be much happier with the bigger mc and the pedal will feel better as well. Here is the info: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...master+upgrade

Trust me...it works. I know longer have issues with my mc blowing out and leaking fluid down the front of the brake booster.
