Warranty expires soon and my brakes just wore out. Funny huh? Anyways, upgrades are EBC slotted rotors and tanabe springs in the mail and can't wait to feel the difference!


Stock GK with window tint 40%front and 15%rear. Let the journey begin.

 

if its any comfort, brake pads are not covered under warranty.

 

i was reluctant to upgrade because up until this point the only wrenches to touch my car were Honda technicians (and les schwab for my tires) but like I said before -- the journey shall begin now. And with style 8-)

 

Rotors, pads, and springs.

 

how are the EBC brake pads? do they squeak?

 

I've gone 700 miles in them now and the green stuff pads on the EBC ultimax rotors they are flawless. No squeak squeal or chatter just perfect pedal feel and much more stopping power over stock setup.

These two products (slotted rotors and green stuff pads) are recommended to be used together for cars like the fit that don't weigh too much and don't see speeds over 100mph

 

Looks good and sounds like a decent upgrade. How's the brake dust and brake fade? Read on amazon that there's alot more brake dust with those green stuff pads.

 

there's dust but it's worth it. On any day. But I don't drive it too hard just yet. I have only gone 900 miles with the springs and brakes which I changed at the same time.

 

This is 1172.7 miles of brake dust under relatively normal driving conditions...
