i thought i would share my next adventure with you all here on hondatech.

starting on brakes. the car stopping power on stock setup sucked. so i got upgraded pads. project mu club racer pads to be exact. they worked great up to the point they wore out. only 4 months of use. they gripped really well on stock caliper and stock rotors.

so i needed to use some bigger brakes now.

bought from a guy on the civicwagon forum a while ago and never used them.
lots of rust and boot is ripped on some. its been sitting in the garage and i finally want to install them. after looking at them carefully this time i would say they needed to be rebuilt from the get-go.

they were spray painted with some silver.
these are typical integra and legend calipers. nothing special.

 

took it all apart and powder coat them in addition to the rebuilding them to oem spec with all oem acura parts. i will try to salvage what is still usefull so i dont blow too much money on this.

 

removed and being prepped for powder coating. yay!
