Wow! I can't believe you use Hyundai Genesis Brembo Big Brake Kit to fit your FB6! I remember TL Type S Big Brake Kit can fit to FB6. Then, you are the first show about Hyundai Genesis! Good work!!
Great brake kit for the street and some spirited and short autocross but the caliper still has piston booths although they are better than your average car booth because at least they are silicone. Unfortunately they don't stand a chance for a road course, for that you will need straight precision cut pistons made of high temp alloy. When I say precision cut piston what I mean exactly with this is that the whole(bore) in the caliper is so precise that the piston fits perfectly without getting dust inside and for that you are talking forged calipers. I recommend either AP racing, wildwood or stoptech trophy model, all 3 brands have no piston booths. I personally had stop tech and Brembo GT, not to be EVER confused with the lower tier Brembo sports that MOST factory cars use. Just to summarize, these brake kit is beyond excellent for most people, that is all you will ever need to street, spirited driving and small auto cross but neither the stockfish brake pads nor the booths will stand a chance. The paint will also turn brown because this calipers are simply aluminum and nor forged. Thanks for the video by the way.
The RU-vid algorithm failed me. Just last week I put brand new EBC rotors and EBC brake pads for my stock caliper setup. For just a little more I could've done this?! Ugh, thanks for the great video. I am gonna be thinking about this forever now!🤣
Thanks for the video dude, I bought the setup sometime last year and recently coated them.. ill be installing them soon, glad to know it'll actually work lol
Hey man, i really loved the look of your old grill and was wondering where i could get my own. its 8th gen style and i really like that. Love your build btw
Man! You moved on from FB I didn't even know where you went after you sold your EP lol. Nice work! I'm planning to get a FA5 in the future and started looking at mod list, somehow stumbled upon your video! I think this setup might work on FA5 or even EP3 as well. But with bigger brakes comes different brake booster I think? What do you use for your booster after this setup?
Hey Tony! Hope you're doing well. Yea, I'm still alive! 😅 but yes, this setup will work on the 8th,9th,10th gens. I believe the EP and rsx as well, but don't quote me on that. I ran it fine with the 9th gen OEM booster. But i'm sur changing it out to a bigger will only benefit
@@StayLurking thanks for the info man! Hope all is well on your side as well! I just bought a pair from AutoZone with 20% discount lol. I remember one guy from socal EP3 installed the same setup as yours, so I think you are right!
Great build, color combo very classic Honda racing! I have a question as I'm stuck undecided as to which to choose from situation. I have RL calipers with brackets setup to go on my 7g Accord coupe but seeing this makes me curious about the Brembo options. Was there a big performance difference in your experience (between RL vs Brembo Genesis)? And what was reason for changing? Pad choices? Thanks in advance
Those aren't the OEM brake pads FYI, probably aftermarket so do not base your baseline from them. Hawk HP street 5.0 for a lighter civic vs genesis coupe should work well.
I believe these will fit on the Accord as well. I've seen these on accords and 10th gen civic si as well. I'm just not sure if any extra parts are needed to make it work.
Hey brother, I’m planning to do this mod for my 8th gen civic. I am running advan RS2 18x8+45. Do you think these wheels will clear the brembo without spacer?
@@StayLurkingthank you! I’m super excited to do this mod. I will buy like a 10mm spacer. Btw, I saw the red string on your wrist. I have one also lol. Thanks again bro!
You didn't use the centering ring that came with FFC kit ? How big is the hub on the civic ? I know the 68mm center bor of the rouge rotors are too big so I need that center ring for my 06 TSX.
What offset are you running because because I did the set up on my car, but my wheels cannot fit I’m running 18 x 8 1/2 with 35+ offset so what offset do I need to get for the wheel to fit without spacers?
Although specs are an important factor in clearance for the bbk, many people often overlook the spoke design, which is just as critical and needs to be taken into consideration as well. I mentioned all the specs at the end of the video. 17x9 +27 but this doesn't necessarily mean that another wheel in the similar specs will clear. Hope that helps.
@@StayLurking Okay cool, I was wondering because I bought a full set of these Brembo's and planned to sell the rears, however I'd prefer to fab them to my 9th gen.. Thanks!
Hi.I have a 2015 Civic SI.If I upgrade the brake master cylinder to a acura TL types S one I have to change the brake booster because the bolt pattern change. The TL brake master cylinder will not fit 9th gen civic brake booster. What brake booster should fit on the 9th gen civic?
Are there any bigger rotor options for this setup? If I’m not mistaken the 350z brembo rotors are 324mm ehich can be used on Acura rl big brake swaps for Hondas, with that being said are there any benefits to doing this upgrade over the rl one? Are the caliper pistons any bigger and do they out perform the rl calipers in harsh driving scenarios like at the track I’d love to know some more info on this
When I did my test fit, it seemed like the 350z brembo rotors would work. They are slightly larger, though, as you mention at roughly 324mm. From my personal experience from switching over from the RL to the Genesis BBK, the initial bite and feedback from the genesis bbk is much greater than the RL. They are both 4 pistons calipers. Also, an upside to running the Genesis BBK is that there are no additional brakets needed to mount the calipers. The RL calipers are bulkier too, so wheel options are much more limited in order to clear the RL calipers.
I’d think you’d get better pressure from the larger BMC. I started my front brake upgrade with the 06 TSX BMC. BIG difference even before the bigger brakes went in. Just a thought…
Rears are not plug and play. Will need a bracket to mount. Plus, I think you'll need to keep the stock calipers along side it in order to retain the ebrake as well.
@@StayLurkingOh thank you! It was driving me crazy theses past days since I watched your video and proved it was a direct fit. More so you gave me some knowledge I couldn’t find myself.
