How to: 8th & 9th Gen Civic Brembo Conversion

Hope this video helps with your Brembo conversion on your 8th or 9th gen Civic. It’s a very upfront and simple swap.

There’s two options for brake discs, which I chose option #1 to make the swap simple.

Option #1 is using S2000 discs. The brake pads do have a very slight overhang, but it’s not an issue as long as you maintain the overhang.

Option #2 is using TL Type S discs, but you have to either put a spacer behind the disc or machine the caliper. If a spacer is used, then you’ll need extended wheel studs.

Parts needed:
-3rd Gen TL Type S calipers
-S2000 rotors
-Brake pads
-4 total 14x1.5mm bolts
-Brake fluid
-Thread lock (Medium strength/blue)

Tools needed:
-Jack & jack stands
-19mm socket
-17mm socket
-14mm socket/wrench
-11mm wrench
-Impact/Breaker Bar
-Grinder with cutting wheel
-Ratchet
-Bit Impact Driver with Philips bit (or Philips screw driver and vise grips)
-Mallet or Hammer
-Drill
-9/16 or 14mm drill bit
-Bottle and hose to bleed calipers
-Rags
