If just the pad not exp la. Maybe $100++ to change both lor. 6-7k is like change front brake to performance one. And rear from drum to performance one la. Haha

[Sash7]

hahaha.... ok dude....

[Ceratoisthebest]

Welcome. Sry for the confusion. Hehe. Just go to a decent servicing workshop They will have for u. Civic is not hard to source.

[Sash7]

no problem dude.... ask my work shop.... they dun have.... juz normal 1.....

[Ceratoisthebest]

Wat about go to aftermarket workshop like Mcwell, Garage R, Imperial Concept or Toycar garage???? They maybe have. But i think cost more $200++.

[Porche]

bro, better avoid Mxxxxx. think Toycar garage is better. if its a EG or EK, can go to sungei kadut to get the parts

Bro, IMHO i think using back the original pads for your rear drum brakes would be good enough

 

For better braking performance, you may wanna change the front ones to better aftermarket pads instead as well as those steel braided brake hoses

hi bro.... thks for the advise.... i m in dom advantage in 0-500 for front...not too bad.... too dusty... but it work well... let say the rear drum performance pad will cost abt 200 plus.... agree with u then i will rather go for stainless steel hose... maybe less then 200?...

[Ceratoisthebest]

Yup agree. Change to gd front disc brake pad, change stainless steel hose. Rear drum one OEM will do. This yr braking should improve. Onli hard core ppl like racing guys or drifters need to change to those aftermarket 4/6 pot set-up
