Default Something different!!

Any of you ever done a 4 disc conversion on a civic?? If you have what do you think about it?? Easy to do, work well?? If you could let me know that would be sweet, and if any of you know where I could find a good write up on it I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Did you listen to what you just said? drums suck ***, and if you have ever driven a ef hatch with the rear discs swapped with good pads you would laugh at your self for saying that. and those (rear discs off of a early teg) are small as hell, lots of room to be ugraded. Its def worth it in my opinion but not different or original. Best brake mod i have come by yet.

YOu living under a rock or something? What's next...your thinking of strapping a turbocharger onto your civic? Funny thing is he calls it something different and asks for a writeup. That takes the cake.

Its a great mod to do, Very effiective. The douche who said drums are just as good apparently doesn't know what he is talking about. Do it, cuz you will be very happy with it. Even without the upgraded master cylinder, just put on good pads and go stop fast.
