Hope this video helps with your Brembo conversion on your 8th or 9th gen Civic. It’s a very upfront and simple swap.
There’s two options for brake discs, which I chose option #1 to make the swap simple.
Option #1 is using S2000 discs. The brake pads do have a very slight overhang, but it’s not an issue as long as you maintain the overhang.
Option #2 is using TL Type S discs, but you have to either put a spacer behind the disc or machine the caliper. If a spacer is used, then you’ll need extended wheel studs.
Parts needed:
3rd Gen TL Type S calipers
S2000 rotors
Brake pads
4 total 14x1.5mm bolts
Brake fluid
Thread lock (Medium strength/blue)
Tools needed:
Jack & jack stands
19mm socket
17mm socket
14mm socket/wrench
11mm wrench
Impact/Breaker Bar
Grinder with cutting wheel
Ratchet
Bit Impact Driver with Philips bit (or Philips screw driver and vise grips)
Mallet or Hammer
Drill
9/16 or 14mm drill bit
Bottle and hose to bleed calipers
Rags
