Calster17 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 My front brakes are nearing there life, giving me an excuse to upgrade them for something with better bite! I'm still needing to have a proper look at the disk's to see how there fairing before i decide what i'm going to do, but was wondering what people would recommend getting, and what fit's the MC1. Plan 1 is seeing how the front disk's are, just replace the pads.(rears will be basic replacement of pads/disk). Been thinking of EBC GreenStuff pads, but not sure if they'll fit, or worth getting them. Plan 2 is much like plan 1, but if the disk's need replacing. Would be interested in getting drilled/grooved ones. Would it be of any real benefit getting fancy sports parts? Or would i be better just getting original parts?I use the car everyday, but often go for a spirited drive, and once everything is sorted planning my first track day next year. Thanks in advance for any help & advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Mtec disks come well recommended and are a decent price too, don't get drilled disks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I went for mtec dimpled and grooved discs all round. As said before DON'T get drilled as i went through 2 sets under warranty with mtec on my last civic. I also have green stuff front pads and mintex rear pads. I found the green stuff to be fine for my driving style but as i may track the car next year....i think red stuff may be an option at the time. But for non track driving, green stuff are good.

burbleboy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've recently got the Mtec discs, i just went for grooved. I got the black editions too, to save looking at rust in the future. I bought a tin of hammerite smooth satin black paint and painted the hubs to avoid unsightly rust later in life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Mtec black for me dimpled and grooved. Seem good! I just have mintex pads. They don't fit well and had to grind bits off to get them in but to be fair they stop well for cheapies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
