Icon2 1980 Civic

Hey guys I'm new to the site I am currently restoring my 1980 civic 1300DX that I have owned for 21 years. I need some info if you can help me I need to know what the bolt pattern is on my 12 inch wheels is it 4/100? or what? I'm not sure and I wanted to add some sportier wheels on it. Thanks in advance.

Yep 4x100. Lots of sweet, sweet options, unlike the older Civics and Accords with the 4x120 lug pattern.

Try Honda first. Then eBay. Then the local wrecking yards.

I'm following this. I loved my 2nd gen Civic almost as much as my first gen. Good luck.

Does anyone know where I can find a good set of brake pads for my 80 that are performance type other than the cheap organic type?

thanks,

I would just get the ones from your local auto parts store. You're not going to need anything more.

Many brake pad companies will take your existing backings and put their own material on them, if you don't mind paying a bit extra. Carbotech does this, but I paid $250 for a set of pads from them. Not sure if they have anything less expensive or not.
