    I'm with you... They suck.

    Not as much as a CR-V though.

    I can relate anything to a CR-V since its a civic on 16's but does everything WORSE.

    you'll see how bad the stock brakes are when you slap on some dual piston calipers with bigger rotors

    the stock brakes are dangerous

    No... 11.6"

    My EBC red stuff pads seem to bite pretty well compared to my old ****ty pads.

    Instead of pushing to get the thing to stop, they bite right away.

    Just put 'em on so they're not bedded and I still noticed a major difference.

    Bled the brakes for good measure and didn't noticed any difference in brake feel.

    I'm trying to get some new calipers with the brackets for the 12" rotors as well as the rotors themselves... but on the cheap. Just waiting on a buddy to pull through.

    I put on some Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads and they are way better than my old stock ones.

    We got it. But no, I pulled off the calipers, used a c-clamp to push the piston back in and put it back on with fresh pads. I basically had no brake pad on the driver side, while the right was pretty good... 0.o
