How U Guys Like My Car??

u need bigger brake rotors, those rims make them look like they're rotors off a scooter besides, bigger rotors would be in your interest since you've obviously got some oversized wheels...stopping better is always nice hehe. of course, you'd have to replace pads and calipers in front too, but in the end about $500 in parts and a afternoon in the garage would give you some sweet braking power. you could do all out and do some braided brake lines too for an additional $200 and those would show through those rims too.

that is true. all though you cant see it too well, i have cross drilled brake rotors. they arent big brake kit though. i guess i went the cheepe way ^ ^
u think its expensive to get braided brake lines?

[JakeDrummer]

your tails are disturbingly ricey. asides from that looks nice.

It's a Civic, how unique can it possibly be? It's all been said and done before, just depends where you put the ps2, where you put your gauges, and what body kit you buy (which have all been said and done too). imo a unique Civic would be a stock one.

99% of the time, I hate altezzas with a passion, but for some reason they don't look bad on your car. I don't rag on altezzas every time I see them. Yes, they're incredibly played-out, but if everyone went for the OEM tails (which is starting to happen), they'd be played-out too. Not a fan of the rims, but the paint looks nice.

Yeah i know what you guys mean with the tails. But i swapped from the other altezzas to these and i think they look pretty good. I actually tried to get the si tails but at the time they didn't have them in stock.......Bigger rotors? How would i go about doing that?

You could buy AEM big brake kits which come with new rotors, fitting calipers, and pads. I think the whole kit costs like $400 maybe? Just a guesstimation. I know rotors are cheap, calipers aren't, and pads relatively are ($70 or so).

I like the car man. Its a good look. Classy, and stylish.Ignore the disses ur gettin on here. As long as ur payin the bills and not ur folks, do whatever you want with it bro. However, I must agree on the Altezza's. Sorry man, but toooo many ppl got them as soon as they came out. Conversions are the way to go. Dig the rims too man. Post some pics of engine mods if you've done any. I'd like to see wut you've got under there.

Ricochet, I agre with everything you said up until this point. That Civic is well. Lame. and are you kidding me 17lbs per rim! that is ridiclous, with unsprung weight being as important as it is that is crazy. And the Altezzas completly destroy the look of the car. But hey its his car.
But anyway that big brake kit is more like $2500, you can get a big rotor kit (no calipers or pads) for a lot less. I am pretty sure on this cause one is about to go on the front of mine.
