Spano 9th Gen Civic and addons

[Spano]

Didn't do any. There is no option of calibration for abs. By the these rotors come in all international models

[Nabeel_Ali]

Beautiful going sir. Have you done anything to improve the road and wind noise of this car?

[ahmed2396]

So where are you gonna get replacement for the brake pads, if you need them in future? And how was bleeding procedure performed after replacing front rotors and calipers

[Spano]

so far, (using Michelin Primacy 3) I am comfortable with the road noise, and for wind as well.
I don't see any thing disturbing

I would rather work on the center console that creates noises when i place my elbow on it

[Spano]

Bleeding procedure was done with the both sides, and I had to put half a bottle/can of DOT-4 brake oil during the procedure.

Honda Civic-X brake pads or Honda accord 2003 to 2010 (CL7/CL9) brake pads are the same.

[Spano]

some amazing fact about second hand market people.
any civic between 2003-2006 is called Vti
any civic after 2007 is called "REBORN"

they call it older reborn that is 8th gen and newer reborn that is 9th gen

Cool upgrade man and very detailed coverage. I like how the rotor and rim gap has decreased, looks sporty!
Did the rotor require tooling?

[Spano]

no tooling, rotors are really clean. I had vernier caliper (measuring tool) with me and the thickness of both the rotors were more than 23mm that is like when the come on a zero meter car.

minimum thickness is 21mm (mentioned"stamped" on the rotor)

more over, they are balanced rotors. I will show you the pictures. there is absolutely no vibration on high speed.
there was slight bit of vibration with OEM rotors.

[Spano]

here is the picture of balanced rotor

here is the video of the procedure

Yes that krrrrr sound. The same comes from drivers seat.

Are you planning to add insulation sheets as well in bonnet and boot ?

[Spano]

yes may be. but thats not in my to do list for near future.

[yankmyyoda]

You should. I've done it on my reborn and it made a difference. I like the work you're doing. I just wish I had the time.

We should get together and discuss our cars. I think it'll be a good chat.

Good luck with your car and see you soon

[Spano]

see the difference in Brake Pad side
These pictures were taken several weeks back when i was doing research and making my mind whether to go for this upgrade or not.
