Well some civics have drums in the back. (because civics suck) We have bigger brakes than civics. The integras and civics might be the same.

sounds like you sir need a full break job

I've never had a problem stopping in my legend, and it sat for 3 years and has almost no pads, old ass rotors, and some nasty fluid. :dunno:

I can understand slotted/drilled rotors, but you can get them cheaper than that, as long as there not cheap chinese junk

unless they really are that expensive for legends..?

Yes, you can get them cheaper, but he can't.

They have sets on eBay for $110 USD for all four drilled/slotted rotors with semi-ceramic pads.

Like they've stated, things are ridiculously expensive in Aus, especially for Honda and the Legend in particular.

I'd love to see some vids of fast g1's ! But it doesn't seem to happen, at least very often :/

Unless your autocrossing with the car, and even then, there shouldn't be a need for uber expensive braking parts.

You could take that money and put it towards a nitrous kit

nitrous kit are illegal in Aus, well in South Australia deffinately

Looking good

ima have to get me a set when i get my new wheels to have something nice to show off behind them

. but not sure for the price tho but i supose i could get them off ebay but that would mean postage and the ones on aus ebay are around the 300 mark for 2 so that would mean 600 for all 4 which is a bit of a rip.
