Default Big brake

Im looking at buying the Powerslot Plus front break kit and rear disc conversion kit. I have 16 wheels right now and im wondering if they will fit? The front is 12" and the rear is 11.1".

Why do you need a big brake package on a Civic?

Then he'd have something that he would need them for then not have the kit.

odds of him actually building something crazy enough to NEED a big brake kit is slim to none. Even if he went turbo, braking could be handled nicly with the right combination of pads and rotors.

The stock brake system is plenty of power to slow a Civic down even with 100-200 extra hp. Cause where can you use it except at a track (and I mean road course not drag race). Even at an autocross my dinky 9" brakes front and drums back can slow my car down with R tires pretty fast.
