Hi all, I have a 2013 Honda Civic Lx Sedan. Being 10 years old and from Canada, the lens has really faded, so much that its got pretty poor visibility. I have been using the Philips 9006 VisionPlus Upgrade Headlight Bulb and now one of them gave out yesterday. I am hence contemplating an upgrade...
I looked at the rotors and dont see any rust in them. Considering that there is no grooves, lips et al and I cant get it turned, I am just going to gamble and just get the pads replaced. Worst case - I feel vibrations. If I do, I can then go for rotor and pad replacement. Worst case scenario _ I...

Thanks Webby. I wanted to know if I can get the discs and caliper from the junkyard and rest of the spares from Honda (if necessary) as I am not sure if the Si parts would fit in an Lx.
Hi Webby, I am not trying to upgrade to Si. I am just thinking of replacing the rear drums with disc size of an EX-L and with something better than OEM/Stock. I do not have any used calipers etc. We are on total lockdown with everything closed and I might as well get the entire kit new. As for...
