  1. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    I know you are on your path to the build you want. Just wanna get one more option out for you. Paragon PA055 kit. If I'm reading right, Paragon is a USA company as well like Wilwood. This is exactly what Honda uses on their HPD Si race cars. It's what I would go with but they have to custom...
  2. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    Yes I actually looked into FastBrakes. There was a 10th gen customer that was quite unhappy. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/two-step-performance-utter-garbage.78353/#post-1183371 Long story short: he ordered it, and it didn’t show up in full until two something months later. Then they had...
  3. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    The economy sucks right now. I’m in a pretty tough spot as well. Not to the point of selling my car yet but getting close. Your next car is gonna be better! @small was talking about getting pads. This is a smoking deal.
  4. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    Yes, their brake pads will fit like stock. No modification required. High temp brake fluid is a must. I like to use Motul RBF 660. The front axles runs very hot even the best stuff doesn't last long. Make sure to do a full bleed every four five events. Glad to hear you enjoy watching my...
  5. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    Oh hey, nice to see you here. That's me last year running ORP. I have a spreadsheet of current mods in the works. When I get some free time tonight I'll get it done and post it here. I sent the backing plates to Carbotech so they have all their compound available for our cars. As of today...
  6. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    PNR weather has been unpredictable recently. But lucky enough got two winter track days in and I think there's enough data to share. The good stuff: The car is a riot to drive. With the correct pad compound, there was enough braking power. And the pad consumption was within acceptable range as...
  7. The Tuned 11th gen Experience & Reliability Thread (for all models)

    Vehicle: 2022 Civic Si Total tuned time: 12 months Tuned miles driven: 14,000 Tuning device(s) used: Hondata Tunes used: 250HP/250TQ, VSA disable, full throttle, rev-hang disable Fuel used: 92 octane Additional related mods: PRL air filter, rear motor mount Problems/issues: Valve cover...

    27WON did a very nice writeup on their website. They are the experts. 20 weight might not be a bad thing and it provides adequate protection under certain use cases. You should choose the desired oil weight based on your needs. My car falls into WOT 20-40 minutes. Hence the 30 weight...
  9. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    I am running 5W-30 all year round. And I sent one oil sample to oil sampling lab. Redline is the brand I use. It held up well. Normally I change oil after 5-7 track days as a preventative maintenance. And that’s around every 3 months. Ester based oil has shorter street mileage.
  10. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    Yes, you’ll be fine short term with only high temp fluid and high temp track pads. Long term air provisioning is required as the front axles run very hot. The excess heat caused a lot of damage in my last season. I do run a thicker ester based 5W-30 oil as the engine is know to have heat soak...
  11. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    Thanks! It comes down to cost, availability and my budget. First brake system came into my mind was 10th gen Si. It has the same rotor diameter. To my surprise, the pad options are about the same as 11th gen. So I went with the non Si model. The $300 was more like a click bait title. 11th gen Si...
  12. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    Indeed. Race cars break lol. Front brakes of this platform run so hot to a point regardless of what pads in there the car is going to go through them. There was a time I immediately measured the caliper and rotor in the paddock. Rotor reading was 800F after cool down laps. Better pads still...
  13. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    Hello Splice/JJ, 1. Before I was running Carbotech XP12 front and XP10 rear. The result were great and there was so much brake I could use especially after long straights. Pads now are Hawk HP plus I bought for fitment. Will start exploring pad options as Carbotech, Hawk and EBC all make pads...
  14. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    I saw that retrofit as well. Three things deterred me from that: 1. Calipers are used. 2. No pad option. 3. Wheel spacer/does not fit stock offset wheels. Are there high performance off the shelf solutions?Absolutely. Like BBK from 27WON. Or BBK from 2 step. My goal is to make my car a seat...
  15. Fog light brake duct kit -- possible/makes sense to fab a kit for cooling ducts from the dummy fog lamps to the rotors?

    Not verified yet, the Audi RS3 brake duct is good to try. I just installed them on my car because last year I had some major brake overheating issues... https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/300-small-brake-kit-audi-rs3-brake-ducts-and-arp-wheel-studs.51417/
  16. $300 Small Brake Kit, Audi RS3 Brake Ducts and ARP Wheel Studs

    In 2022, I ran 10-15 track days with my Si. The car ran great with stock suspension and minimal mods. As a seat time track car, I found a couple pain points and they are being addressed accordingly in this thread. Goal is to get a lot of seat time while not breaking the bank. Disclaimer: this...
  17. Looking for better front brake pads for a '22 Civic Si.

    Hey alhounos. Glad they were able to help you out. I’m on XP10 front and rear setup. And I’m liking it. Release and modulation on track are very good. Stopping power is great too. Consumption is acceptable. Maybe 4 track days or 20 sessions. XP10 don’t overheat but it does run pretty hot as...
  18. 10th Gen Civic Rear Sway Bar Compatible with 11th Gen

    Yes it is the Whiteline 22mm bar. I had to bore out the four end link mounting holes a bit with a dremel. Might be a little tough to fellas w/o a drill or dremel. To your 27WON race car how about Karcept? ?
  19. 10th Gen Civic Rear Sway Bar Compatible with 11th Gen

    It was raining yesterday so I haven’t get a chance testing out the rotation. Next track day is early April. On street cruising it makes little to no difference to ride comfort. Rear is stiffer on slopes and over bumps.
  20. 10th Gen Civic Rear Sway Bar Compatible with 11th Gen

    Just installed rear sway bar on my Si today. Overall it’s the same shape and thickness bar from 10th gen. Mounting points are the same. Difference is on bushing and brackets. 11th gen rear bar has brackets pinned to backing plates. Brackets can not pop out and be reused. For those who needs a...
