Brembo Brake Kit Rear

[CivicR316]

Dose any one know if Brembo makes a kit to fit the rear? In my opinion it makes the car look cheep with the crappy brakes in the back, would look much better if it matched the front i tried searching but no luck

I agree! It does kind of cheapen the look of the car, that being said I feel like Honda went with function over form. The car is so heavily front biased in terms of braking, that the added cost most likely would have changed nothing in terms of braking performance.

This. The car already out-brakes the competition, it's quite impressive actually.

Oh, maybe not! The sticky on the announcement of the Type R says the rears are Brembo too.

Nonetheless I don't think it looks weird or bad IMO

Probably Brembo pads in the rear, as the front uses Brembo-labelled pads.

In any case, it isn't so much the manufacturer as the fixed caliper look. No doubt there will be an aftermarket fixed caliper system for the rear soon enough, although integrating an aftermarket caliper with the parking brake might be tricky.

Any update on this?
Rear matching caliper would be a nice upgrade.

Don’t think so. The issue is the electric parking brake.

Maybe you can add an extra caliper and keep the original for parking brake only.

I agree. Besides the look, there is such as as performance. In this case, brake performance and brake bias. If you had the money, you could modify the same calipers/rotors in the front to fit the rear. Or figure out a Brembo caliper part number that would fit the rear. This would heavily throw off your bias if your simply just slapping parts on and not doing calculations. You'd probably also need a new master cylinder and possibly a booster.
If you don't care about performance and strictly for looks, you could buy those fake brembo caliper covers. =)

I'm sure there are lot of options if someone really wants to do it and has plenty of money to burn.
