Hey if you give me your civic details like year and model i can find out and im in adelaide so i could get them for you and fit them unless u are doing it yourself.

[civic]

Ur a good man its a 1976 honda civic hatch im also in adelaide. Ifu can get a price that would be sweet and can work out some thin on the install

[turbo11]

No probs, my good mate owns AJR Performance thats where i do all my work when not working on customer cars and he will do it no probs. I will get a price for you they have gone up since last year for the T2 but should be still good better than normal price. It was $149 per disc for the slotted for the T2 getting my set tomorrow.

[civic]

sweet as sounds good let me know then i guess will the t2 rotors fit on my civic im not too sure with that stuff thanks very much dude speak to u soon i cant wait till i get em on and my new wheels.

[turbo11]

Nah the T2 dont look like they will fit by the listing on the DBA cat but im sure Bigelboe will jump on and tell me im wrong. The listing for the T2 is part number 191 and for the civic is 188 so will find out for you. And if anyone one else wants the just let me know.

[civic]

ok then well if u can find out some info for me i would love that i want them so if u can hook me up then i wont beable to thank u enough thanks

I very much doubt that DBA will have any 4*120 brake discs listed, the listing you have turbo11 is probably for the generation of civic I have.
Even if you do get better rotors thats only part of the story, the 1st gen brakes are fairly primitive and have a very small pad area.

civic, the only off the shelf options you really have braking wise are to get better pads, get your discs slotted which may help a little, or find some 1st gen accord brakes, they are slightly bigger and bolt on (I think), they could be vented I dont remember.

If you want anything bigger than that youll have to go custom, both in disc and calliper probably.

The other option is you find some 1st gen wagon knuckles, these have the bigger calliper spacing of later hondas, so you can bolt 88 accord twin pot callipers on there. Then you have to sort some 4*120 discs out somehow. The thing people usually do with the wagon knuckles is press some hubs from 2nd gen civics into them, this gives you bolt on 4*100 and you can use whatever later honda brakes you want. But you have expressed you want to keep it 4*120 so this limits your off the shelf options a lot.

ok then thanks guys ill try some thin out just want them to look nice behind my wheels

[James]

Your putting a roll cage in and all you want your brakes to do is look nice

Your a worry sometimes mate

[civic]

haha na u know wat i mean when u have big nice shiny rotors it looks nice i want them to stop good aswell and im not putting in a roll cage its already in

[James]

Hehe sweet as. If you go for the wagon knuckles then you can buy brembo rotors and callipers off the shelf, thats a bit of bling for you.

[civic]

yeah that would be good but just trying to source down some that i can bolt on as is and want to change the back to disk aswell but dont want to go thrue the hassle of changing stud patterns

help me out please
