What’s better than a floating caliper braking setup? You guessed right, a fixed caliper setup like the 4-piston front brakes found on the FK8 and also latest Civic Type R FL5 & Integra Type S DE5. Why did Honda decide to switch up and use this Brembo system vs. going the route of a floating caliper like they do on the base trims? Performance! But what if you want even more performance than Honda intended?
Look, even Honda has limits. They can’t feed the need for outright performance because they need to save on costs and make sure the car appeals to the general public. And that’s exactly why we look towards the aftermarket to deliver a solution for those owners that want even better braking performance. We’re talking about better thermal capacity, better feel, better consistency and more predictable results whether you’re driving hard on the street or doing back-to-back 20-minute track sessions all weekend long.
So, what’s the TLDR? We’ve created an all-new Front 6-Piston Big Brake upgrade. 6-piston calipers in your choice of Red or Black, two-piece 355mm slotted rotors, DOT-approved stainless steel brake lines, and an included set of brake pads suitable for the Street and Light-duty Auto-X. Simply bolt on, bed-in, and go.
We’re no stranger to Big Brake Kits. We developed our first Civic Brake Kit about a decade ago and it’s become the de-facto braking upgrade for the 1.5T 10th Gen CivicX platform. Now, we bring that expertise over to the 2.0T models such as the FK8, FL5, and DE5.
What Honda did right is they went with a 4-piston setup from factory but we felt we could take things a step further with a larger aluminum 6 piston caliper. This helps with thermal capacity and also allows for a slightly larger rotor. Now, 6 pistons are great, but we also employed staggered piston sizing on them for better balance and improved pad wear. These pistons are constructed using stainless steel meaning less chance of boiling your brake fluid and inducing brake fade because this type of steel resists heat much better.
Early versions of the Honda Type R FK8 didn’t use a two-piece rotor, but midway through production of that model, Honda caught on and switched to a factory two-piece rotor for better performance. That setup was prone to cracking and was heavy (around 24-25lbs). What took them so long?
The Big Brake Kit we designed here starts with a two-piece rotor from the get-go. Two-piece rotors are lighter and shedding weight in this part of your vehicle is ideal. These are also more serviceable because you can replace the outer rotor ring without having to also switch out your hub. We then made the rotors slotted which helps exhaust gasses escape the pad under hard braking minimizing the chance for brake fade.
A braking upgrade wouldn’t be complete without ditching those stock rubber brake lines. Although Honda did go some length making sure a good portion of the line is already metal, they didn’t take it all the way and so our included brake lines finish the job.
These DOT-approved lines replace your stock rubber lines which work fine on the Street but can often give off a mushy sensation under hard braking.
- The 27WON BBK is designed to be used with 18" inch or larger diameter wheels
- OEM FK8/FL5/DE5 wheels do not require use of wheel spacer
- Supplied "blue sport pads" are intended for spirited Street use. For Track use we recommend Race specific pads that can be purchased with your BBK. To purchase a set of Blue Sport replacement pads direct from us click here.
- We recommend pairing this Front BBK with a set of our upgraded Rear Brake pads for improved brake balance
- 30mm is the minimum rotor thickness before replacement is required. These rotors can be turned down on a lathe but not past the minimum 30mm. Replacement rotors and rotor rings are available.
