    So to give some insight, my braking has felt a little spongy for a while and it feels like the front of the car is stopping much more powerfully than the rear, turns out my rotors aren't waring down evenly. I previously (about 4 months ago) replaced my rear passenger brake caliper and also bled...

    Has anyone ever tried installing a TL-S brake master cylinder while retaining the stock civic Si brake calipers? My brakes have a very mushy pedal and can almost be pushed all the way to the floor while sitting at a stoplight. Not stiff at all, terrible brake feel. And yes, I've tried...

    so my front caliper was seized and I replaced it. It was supposed to be an easy job but I forgot to check the master cylinder when I was bleeding them. 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ . Now my brake pedal is spongy and goes all the way down to brake at all. I've tried bleeding the brakes again and again but it's...

    Hi - I recently bought a 2008 honda civic si fg2. The only issue with it was the knock sensor and the rear brakes needed rotors and pads. As I was doing the job I broke off the caliper bracket bolt and I'm kind of stuck - I've probably done 4 brake jobs and never run into something like this, I...

    I drive a 2007 Honda Civic Coupe EX. I recently bought it from a used car dealership. Every time I drive the car for the first time of the day, the suspension starts squealing/ subtle shaking when letting go of the brake to either reverse or drive out of a parking spot. I just got my two front...

Once they are gone that will be it. No more will be produced. The brake pad kits were discontinued...
