Kazuo_WFC 2025 Civic Type R build

[nojeebs]

These came in unexpectedly quick!

Went with the 340mm version with hard anodized hats. I saw that Endless announced a rear kit which is pretty much just a Endless caliper extension like Paragon but at like 4x the cost. I bet it doesn't even come with stickers knowing how JDM companies be skimming for profits haha. jk jk I don't know shit about that stuff.

Color printed instructions and what has to be the world's first bullet proof ziplock bag...that shit was hard to open with my jacked up hands from doing the CAE install yesterday.

Quality stuff is all I'm seeing here. Can't wait to install them along with some other supporting mods for the rear that I've been putting off.

Cool they have a production date for the hats...

and rotors.

The machining is so clean!

Full macro treatment for these cause I thought the machining was and casting of the calipers was so good.

Should be an easy install. My backlog of parts is trauma inducing to me at this point. Gotta wrap everything up in November.

I have the OEM size Paragon rotors for the rear, slightly regret not getting the bigger rotors with the red bracket.

Beautiful build! I’m @carsavant from Instagram. I really need to do a build thread on here. Wish you were closer to Ohio as we think alike when it comes to build philosophy and parts.

Anyways, great choice on the Paragon rear kit, I’m using the same and love the quality and super easy installation as well. I’m getting ready to take it back apart to coat the brackets and calipers in blue to match my front brake setup. I’m also installing the Wunderladen rear caliper bushings at the same time.

Keep up the great work!

@nojeebs - would you pls share what hardware you used for the EPR plates? I'm assuming it comes with none. Looks like Ti? Need to source some myself and looking for specs. TYSM!

Make sure to select APR as that's what they used to copy.

Thank you! I love the name Carsavant. That shit is totally on point for people with modification addiction.

Good idea on the blue rears. My friends said I should nickel plate the rears but I think it'll be too try hard vibes and I'd rather just run um for what I need.....for now. Trying not to inception myself into doing full replacement rears with e-parking brake.

I have the OEM size Paragon rotors for the rear, slightly regret not getting the bigger rotors with the red bracket.

I didn't realize the price difference was only $50 too! Just good incentive to run um hard and then justify the upgrade next round.

I had some m6x1.0 in the same length as the cae one for the knob but in titanium. I was like oh let's try and do some burnt titanium bolts!

Busted out the trusty creme brulee torch. Actually I use it most often to melt shredded cheese on my instant noodles. (Now you know one of the secrets to how I afford my addiction.)

First one actually came out the best but I wanted that lighter blue hue. I just increased the value of this bolt by 200%.

Yesss exactly what I wanted. This shit is fun.

Final one I was trying to do a splatter version using water. Also it's rad to see it go past the white hot and land on that light purple.

Installed the one I wanted and now I want to do more. Got the low gears in my head turning.

Also my opinion is really starting to solidify on how amazing this shifter is. Only thing that could replace this is a sequential gearbox. But I don't know how I'd feel living in my car after my family disowns me. I did notice there's at least 3 options available......🫠
