  1. Hawk HPS 5.0 .. or .. Hawk HP Plus front brake pads? Need help deciding

    I've used Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads for around 15-20k miles now, I like them. Definitely not as good as OEM, but more than good enough for like 7/10ths 'spirited' driving on public roads. However, I did change the brake fluid to ATE Typ 200, so that may have lessened the impact of having a...
  2. J's Racing Fk8 Grill

    Absolutely not. I bought a FRP replica J's grill made by EPR International off of eBay late last year. Ended up selling it to a friend with an FK7. That replica fits like absolute shit. It's 1-2 cm narrower than the real thing so it can't properly clip into the bumper. The J's has fitment...
  3. 2020 Type-R Parts

    which dealer? Was about to buy an Overland Designs boot but if someone has the 2020 Iā€™d much rather buy that.
  4. EVS carbon fiber lip / spoiler ... how's the fitment

    I have the spoiler, fitment is alright. There are four mounting holes, two on each side attaching the wing to the endplates. The drivers side bolts threaded without a problem but the passenger side gave me a massive headache. I'm pretty sure I ended up rethreading one of the holes as I was...
  5. SWIFT springs owners:

    I cut the bumpstop at the first notch like Eibach and Spoon suggest you do. Springs have been on the car for 28k miles, no issues so far. Only complaint is that the ride is pretty bouncy in comfort mode.
  6. Adding volume and fan speed knobs to ‘18 FK8

    Oops. looks like I was wrong. If that's the case, couldn't you repin the harness to get the fan buttons to work?
  7. Adding volume and fan speed knobs to ‘18 FK8

    I heard somewhere that the wire harness connectors are different on the '19s climate control unit.
  8. Eibach Sportline springs without rear camber arms? Anyone do it?

    Car looks great! Did you have to unbolt/remove anything else to make room to install the camber arms? I have a set of these sitting at home; just unsure of what I need to do to install them.
  9. 2020 Type-R Parts

    Grille and front vents should be direct bolt on. I know for a fact that the rear vents won't fit without modification, a member elsewhere on this site tried to put revised hatch vents on his FK7 and they didn't fit. The revised rear vents protrude inward so you'd have to cut a ton of plastic...
  10. What Shift Knob are you currently using?

    Used a Spoon Duracon for about 8 months with stock shifter, then with an assortment of Acuity and Alta parts, then with a full Acuity shift assembly replacement. I liked how the Duracon was temp-resistant but since it's only 65g, shifts felt extremely notchy, especially with the Acuity shifter...
  11. Civic Type R Mileage

    Got mine June '18. I'm just about to hit 40k.
  12. What Shift Knob are you currently using?

    Had a Spoon Duracon for like 8 months then found it harder to get into gear the more miles I put in the car. I think the low weight of the knob had a little to do with it. Had a few times where the car refused to go into 3rd or 5th gear. Ended up borrowing a friendā€™s weighted Seeker knob and it...
  13. Blow Off Valve - Type R

    tbh I donā€™t think itā€™s a huge issue if you just daily the car. if you did any serious driving then I definitely wouldnā€™t buy one. Based on sound alone the Injen is by far the ā€˜bestā€™. OP just wants sound so thatā€™s why I suggested it.
  14. Rear bumper fake vent replaced

    nope. just have to drill holes into the existing vents.
  15. Blow Off Valve - Type R

    As others have said, just buy an intake; itā€™s way less of a headache. I went from a K&N panel filter to a Mishimoto intake. The K&N made a bit of noise but the Mishi is way louder. If youā€™re purely doing this for the noise then Iā€™d recommend either the Injen V1 or AEM intakes. I have friends...
  16. Rear bumper fake vent replaced

    No upcharge, just had to contact them because they show a blank version on the website.
  17. Rear bumper fake vent replaced

    Noticed a few people asking about holeless versions of these. I emailed Top1 and asked for a set of the vent covers without holes a few months ago and they agreed to do it.
  18. Any SONIC GRAY PEARL's in Texas at MSRP?

    Have you considered having the car shipped? I couldnā€™t find a single dealership in the south that had a Type R for MSRP so I just ended up buying one from a dealer in Buffalo and had it shipped to Houston.
