There’s few consideration to ponder upon if you wish to touch such modification, namely if it’s for aesthetic or performance. Both have its good reason for the conversion.
Just like a normal civic, they upgraded their disk with a bigger size rotor to achieve their specific requirement. So via upgrading from drum to disk just another form of upgrade most will do for their ride if you can just forget about you driving a hybrid.
For aesthetic reason, it’s due to rim change to alloy and it’s fully visible.
For performance, it will definitely improve on handling when you require tackling the corners at high speed as back end tends to slip at that speed.
For me it’s due to both reasons I opted to change them but no luck yet for a used set as I’ve set a budget on the upgrade.
The only costly items will the new knuckle replacement as it must change to accept the brake assembly as the current ones do not support them.
As for those still wondering on the Assist/Regenerative Control at deceleration work, here’s how.
During deceleration the IMA motor driven by the wheels function as a generator. It charges the battery module by generating electrical energy. This is done by converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle during braking from the front wheels into electric energy that is stored in the IMA battery. When the battery module is full, regenerative stops to prevent overcharge of the battery.
