Hi
I'm nearing that time where my Civic will complain about having little in the way of brake pads left, and I have always found the brakes on my 2.2 i-CTDi Diesel pretty p*ss poor to be honest, certainly compared to other cars, like the Type-R and Golf GTi 2.0 (I know those aren't really fair comparisons)...
...so rather than pay my local Honda dealer a Honda unHappiness £95 or £245 (Front brake pads or Front brake pads & discs respectively), I thought I might investigate an upgrade, but have no idea of who and what to use!
I am after a reliable fitter who will guarantee the work, and knows what's needed to get better braking on my car.
I reckon pads, discs and hosing upgrades are needed, but what pads/discs/hosing AND who to fit (I sure ain't doing it, and nor am I taking said "parts" to my local Honda dealer either)...
Any advice is welcomed - but remember, I'm after reliable, guaranteed work, but at the same time a definate improvement in braking response and stopping time.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
