the whole thing, rotors/calipers/brake pads/stainledd steel lines/hardware... as far as a price. he paid $570 for it all before we traded i think...Originally posted by plainol2k2si

Do the wilwood calipers have a larger internal volume than the stock civic ones? Just wondering how the clamping force changes with them. Definetly give us a heads up when you get them on, tell us how they feel. Pics too would be sweet, installed and just the parts :) hehehehehehe
they fit with stock rims right?!

Nope. (Not on the 02-03 at least) 16" rims minimum, preferrably with 37mm offset or so. These are for the front brakes only. Go to Raves & Reviews for a couple of writeups and pictures (if they're still there).Originally posted by plainol2k2si

as far as i know, yes they do... being that they're 4 piston calipers, they have a stronger clamping force (obviously) i'm just hoping they aren't so touchy that i'll hit abs all the time... lol and as soon as they're on i'll take pics too...Originally posted by Ocelaris

Don't worry about the ABS. It takes me quite an effort to hit it, but I am running 205 series 17s which should help over the stock all-season tires. About the first 50% of the pedal should feel like stock. After that, it's a progressively faster stop.Originally posted by johnnydanger

Thats a sweet deal, Are they willwood lines? Post pics of the setup before install!:D
have fun... but be care ful wilwoods wear out fast!!!! realllllly fucken fast
what part wears out??? pads hopefully... why would the calipers, lines, etc... wear out? unless you damage them... shouldn't good maintenance mean long life? or are upgraded top notch 4 piston calipers more prone to failure just because...? I can understand rotors and pads wearing out with increased clamping force, but shouldn't the calipers be at least 10 years between replacements, given good maintenance?
They shure are perty :o)
