Has any one hheard of fastbrakes?? Are their kits any good?? I don't race or anything, I like driving fast and Every other weekend go on a country road with a bunch of turns and only one lane (this means passing a lot). And I do think my car could brake better sometimes (Civic 2000 Si). Their prices seem ok to me but I want an opinion on this matter.
Thanks http://www.fastbrakes.com

 

why not try better brake pads/fluid first? a big brake setup does not always (and usually doesnt) decrease braking distances, even though it may "feel" like it does.

I never thought of that.
I changed my brake pads 3 days ago, I got a set of Stillen Metalmatrix performance brake pads and it helped.
What kind of fluid should I use?? I'm using the OEM one from Honda.

 

try removing your dust shields and using a high quality fluid likt Motul RBF600, ATE Spuer Blue, Ford Heavy duty, Castrol LMA, etc... fluids were listed in descending price and performance order

I don't have any experience with Stillen pads, sorry. If you decide to get a different set of pads check with http://www.carbotecheng.com and ask for Andie. He hangs out on H-T and really knows his chit.

Fastbrakes has good prices and great products from what I've heard/seen but you should be fine on a basically stock setup for your application.

 

stillen pads suck. period... call cabotech and set yourself up with something better....

Thanks for the hint. I'll look at the page right now and see what they have.
I'm happy with the stillen pads, since they are better than the stock ones and cost 1/3 of the price (in Mexico).
