also going to do the job myself. i found a great DIY http://spoon.org/civic/DIY-Brakes/....it will save me lots of money so ill probably end up doing it this week.
well i would still consider something different that those
why?
cause they wore out sooo sooon
i just bought a set of Prostop ceramics from pepboys, considered pretty good for stock replacement pads (better friction, low to no dust, longer life)
ive used them on other cars
if anything
consider a set of EBC pads
like red or yellow stuff
and DEF get SLOTTED Brembo rotors
they are a bit pricy, but worth it
youll stop faster and the rotors are generallyy nicer
the stock or OEM pads are semi metallic, which is well known to pretty much SUCK!
