Complete Front and Rear Brake Kit Replacement: Includes (4) R1 Ideas eLINE Front and Rear Drilled Slotted Brake Rotors with (8) Ceramic Brake Pads and Hardware for improved braking performance

Designed for Sport Compact Performance

The Civic Si and ILX platforms are built for:

• Spirited driving
• High RPM performance
• Aggressive cornering
• Daily commuting
• Weekend canyon runs

Which means:

• Higher brake temperatures
• Increased rotor wear
• Repeated hard braking
• Greater demand on stopping performance

The R1 Concepts brake kit helps improve:

• Brake response
• Fade resistance
• Rotor cooling
• Pedal feel
• Overall stopping consistency

Especially useful if your Si spends more time above 6,000 RPM than Honda accountants originally expected.

Prime-Performance Brake Rotors: Cross-Drilled and Diamond Slotted rotors be certain most braking performance, durability, smooth and quiet stops. Constituted of fine quality G3000 iron grade for strength, stability and sturdiness

Drilled & Slotted Rotor Advantages

The included drilled and slotted rotors help:

• Improve heat dissipation
• Reduce brake fade
• Evacuate gases and debris
• Enhance wet-weather braking
• Maintain consistent pad contact

This creates:

• More predictable braking
• Better high-temperature performance
• Improved driver confidence

And yes, drilled rotors behind wheels instantly makes any Civic Si look at least 23% more track-ready.

The science is unofficial, but emotionally accurate.

Low Dust & Noise: Ceramic pads are formulated to scale back dust and noise for cleaner wheels and a quieter ride; Ideal for day-to-day driving and compatible with passenger vehicles, light duty trucks

Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for Stronger Bite

Unlike softer ceramic compounds focused primarily on comfort, the included semi-metallic brake pads are engineered for:

• Stronger initial bite
• Better high-temperature performance
• Improved aggressive driving response
• Consistent braking under load

Perfect for:

• Canyon driving
• Spirited commuting
• Autocross-style driving
• Mild track use

Because Civic Si owners rarely buy the car specifically to drive calmly and reflect on life choices.

Installation and Warranty: Direct fitment, built with O.E.M specifications in mind, no modification required; 1 year of coverage for manufacturer defects

Built for Daily Drivers & Modified Builds

The R1 Concepts Front and Rear Brake Kit works perfectly for:

• Daily-driven Si models
• Lowered Civics
• K-series builds
• ILX daily drivers
• Mild track setups
• Weekend canyon cars

Whether your car is:

• Bone stock
• Full bolt-on
• Tuned
• Coilover-equipped
• Running suspiciously loud exhaust systems

…better brakes improve confidence immediately.

OEM-Style Direct Fitment

This brake kit is built to OEM specifications for:

• Direct bolt-on installation
• Factory-style compatibility
• No modifications required

Perfect for:

• Daily drivers
• Sport compact builds
• Performance street cars

Honda Civic Si brake kit Installation Recommendations

Professional installation is recommended, though experienced DIY enthusiasts can complete installation using standard brake service tools.

Recommended during installation:

• Flush brake fluid
• Inspect calipers
• Check brake hoses
• Properly bed pads and rotors

And yes, bedding brakes matters. Immediately attempting canyon runs afterward is not technically “recommended break-in procedure.”

Final Thoughts

The R1 Concepts Front and Rear Brake Kit is an excellent braking upgrade for Civic Si and Acura ILX owners wanting improved stopping power, better fade resistance, and more aggressive braking performance.

With drilled and slotted rotors paired with semi-metallic pads, this kit delivers the braking confidence enthusiasts expect from a true sport compact setup.

Because revving a K-series to the moon is fun. Actually slowing back down afterward is the important part.
