Who needs brakes when they don't have an engine?

all the aftermarket pads are shitty, trust me just go with the geninue honda pads.......it's design for ur car, the aftermarket are design for general no matter how good they claim about their quality.....
yes and no. im sure honda didnt have in mind auto-x and **** like that when they made the car. now if i had an civicSI, i MIGHT consider getting factory ****, mabey. but im more abusive on the brakes than the average person, so i feel I need a brake upgrade. if i was 45 and drove 7 miles a day to work and back. then i may get honda, but i dont and i drive alot. so genuine honda parts are no good for me. btw my bushings are bad too.... you think i should put stok ones back in too? or should i go with something that holds up better to my abusive driving? i think ill go AFTERMARKET.

talk to Andie and tell him I sent you. he will steer you in the right direction.

if you are not experiencing brake fade then just upgrade your fluid.
