Another great video, we would like to see the stance with the new wheels on your TypeS! I was waiting for that lol. Great job on giving us tips with changing brakes. Thanks again.
Yeah I definitely have to do a feature video on the wheels! Maybe we need to do just sort of a general progress update on the car. We haven't said anything about the spoiler or exhaust yet either.
Or seized caliper pins and on the 2014 tl sh awd you have to buy the caliber bracket combo for pins being frozen inside the bracket itself like that shit is bogus as hell

I'd like to hear your suggestion for which brake pads you recommend for a daily driven civic? Not a track car, just fairly aggressive driving. I've heard akebono makes great pads, but I don't know how they compare to stock. I don't want a super aggressive pad that wears down quick. Also don't want a noisy pad. Look forward to your response.
Sorry for the late reply on this. Yes Akebono does make great pads. They make many of the stock Honda pads in fact. But their replacement pads aren't much different from stock. Aggressive pads do not wear down quick, they last longer. But they can wear the rotor faster. We suggest taking a look at Hawk HPS. They are a great all around street upgrade pad. We sell them on Heeltoeauto.com!
Curious about the electronic e-brake. Are there any extra steps that need to be taken because they’re electronic? I’ve only changed out brakes with a traditional e-brake and always assumed there was an extra step for these new electronic braking systems.
The rear calipers must be placed into service mode if they're EPB calipers. Honda does have a method that doesn't require a scan tool but does require the use of an e11 eTorx socket.
Did you notice a difference when going to those titan 7? I've heard the OEM wheels are good awful heavy like over 30 pounds and the titan 7 are around 20 or so.
The car feels great with them! It seems to accelerate better but the grip is outstanding. These wheels are a BUNCH lighter. We sell them, LMK if you need a quote!

Any chance these rotors bolt up to a standard mdx? Caliper in all? I find my normal mdx needs more brake. I am coming from a ctr and the mdx standard brakes are not as good lol well…it’s a heavy suv
