Doesn't appear to have the dual-axis strut from the Type-R :(
Maybe that gets released when the Type R does? I'm guessing it would be more of a Type-R part and not an Si part.

Shifter appears to be the same. I'm kind of worried as I saw a few reviews that says the Civic shifter isn't among the top Honda ones. Unfortunate as they make some great ones. I'll reserve judgement till I try it.

i wonder if $334 is worth the 11.1in to 12.3in rotor size increase, you think there will be a good increase in braking performance
Probably just depends on if you are doing any significant spirited driving and/or autocross/track stuff.

I thought I read that it is short throw? Unless if they consider all Civic shifters "short throw"

Calipers have a different part number for the piston so I believe they are different. Brake pad set has a different part number too. I'm assuming the pad surface area is larger to benefit from the larger rotor diameter.

Don't forget you need to order the rotors too. 2x Rotors, 1 L caliper, 1 R Caliper, 1 Brake Pad set.



IMO, you are better off getting different brake compounds to change what you want to achieve with your brakes. The extra cost + extra unsprung weight may not be worth it unless you are seriously tracking but at that point, a big brake kit with multi-pistons and a floating caliper would be better. CTR upgrade? :)

It's only 1.1 inches linear, but its roughly 23% greater surface area. Not an exact number because the actual braking surface might vary depending on the hub size. Hard to say whether it will matter or not but I'd rather have more than less in this case.

Same here that's why I went to check part numbers. Unless I read it wrong, it looks to be the same. I think this is the biggest disappointment to me. Was hoping for a different transmission with a real short throw shifter.

No, my friend's ILX 2.4 had the Si brakes compared to my car, and braking performance is a complete toss up on everyday trips.

If I had to do something with the brakes, I'd go for the drilled rotors accessory anyway for style points.

Yeah i have the 6speed in my sport hatch

The shifting feel leaves a bit to be desired.

I'm waiting for an aftermarket pad with a better bite.

Along with the larger size, I like that the Si rotors are also the new "inverted hat" type, with air vents on the outside of the rotor hat. This is the same concept as Mugen's "Active Gate" rotors.
