What are the benefits of 8th gen civic acura tl type s front brake upgrade?
so, a while back, I decided to swap my 8th gen civic brakes for the acura tl type s ones. let me tell you, it was like going from a bicycle to a sports car. I took it for a spin after installing them and man, I could stop on a dime.
the feel was just way better, like it actually knew when I wanted to brake, instead of guessing and going “maybe now”. but did I mention they look sick too?
I mean, who doesn’t want their car to look cooler while stoping? plus, I heard it helps with heat dissipation, which is good for those long drives. anybody else have similar upgrades? did it change your ride?
and just a heads up, you might need to change your brake lines too, so keep that in mind.
man I remember when I slapped the TL Type S brakes on my 8th gen Civic in Ohio. It was a game changer totally transformed my driving experience. Stopping power went up like tenfold plus they look sick behind the wheels.
the only downside is they definitely bite more dust so I find myself cleaning them more often. but hey worth it for that performance upgrade.
upgrading to the tl type s brakes on my 8th gen civic was wild in my little town in Ohio I ve noticed a significant difference in stopping power and responsiveness like I can actually feel the road it can really help with spirited driving or even just daily commutes
not to mention they look pretty sleek too
I’ve heard great things about the brake upgrade. Had a friend in Cali do it on his Civic and it transformed the drive. Stopping power feels amazing.
Honestly it might be overkill for daily use but for spirited driving it’s a game changer. Plus who doesn’t love the look of those bigger brakes.
Living in Seattle I’ve put my 8th gen Civic through its paces and honestly the brake upgrade is a game changer. Stops on a dime now which is nice for those rainy days.
I ve heard some folks say it’s overkill but better brake feel is always worth it. Plus those calipers look so cool peeking through the wheels.
heard the 8th gen civic with the tl type s brakes really changes the stopping game totally had mine done in Toronto and wow what a difference I’ve barely had any fade during those summer drives down the highways. nice feeling.
there’s something about upgrading to the Acura TL Type S brakes that just makes my 8th gen Civic feel like it’s on another level.
last summer driving through the mountains in Colorado I noticed a huge difference in stopping power
it just feels more confident especially in those tight turns
I’ve heard some say it’s overkill but honestly it makes my daily commute a lot more fun and safer too so I got no complaints
i ve been loving my 8th gen civic since getting the tl type s brakes. feels way more responsive like I’m driving a new car. Toronto streets are brutal but these brakes handle it.
totally worth the upgrade honestly.
