Just some info regarding brakes (Civic related)

You are right there Alex, having spoke to couple of my Civic friends they said it is a lot of hard work and money.

Might as well just fix up whats wrong with standard parts from Eurocarparts etc and just use it as it was intended like a daily.

To go 5 stud on a civic you need to get either the ek9 set up or 98spec integra set up

5 stud hubs of ek9 or ukdm integra or 98 spec jdm integra, you can use prelude front calipers as they bolt straight onto the hubs, rears wont even tho the 5 stud options are also 262mm (the caliper bracket mounting holes are spaced different).

TBH if its just for the brakes Id fit your prelude front calipers/brackets onto the 4 stud setup with mg zs180 282 discs and service the rears. That along will make a huge difference.

That sounds good. I might just do that..

Get new Rear brakes/pads. And for the front I will use the Prelude front callipers with MG front discs.

Now that the MOT and Tax has ran out, I need to do the work my self.

I'll try and take the old stuff off tomorrow and let you all know how I get on.
