Honda Civic EG / EK V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 290 mm 4-piston

This big brake kit Civic EG brings 290 mm two-piece brake discs and 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium to the front axle of your Honda Civic. V-Maxx has put the kit together for the Civic EG/EH and the Civic EJ/EK, in each case for cars with ABS and a hub centring diameter of 64.1 mm.

If you take your Civic to track days, sprints or club races, the temperatures in the brake system rise quickly under repeated hard braking. That is when this kit makes the difference: more braking power and braking performance that stays consistent, because the aluminium parts dissipate heat quickly. V-Maxx Autosport is a Dutch manufacturer and the kit has a TÜV certificate according to §19.3, so it is also approved for use on public roads.

Fitting and delivery

Fit the kit according to the V-Maxx fitting instructions supplied and observe the tightening torques. The kit is only suitable for cars with original steering knuckles. Clean the brake kit with a mild soap and never with wheel cleaner, as it attacks the aluminium. If you drive hard on the track, remove the dust seals from the calipers as V-Maxx advises.

Available options: V-Maxx Steelflex steel braided brake hoses for the front axle (500 mm, set of 2, with PTFE inner hose and TÜV approval), 500 ml of Ferodo brake fluid and a V-Maxx wear indicator set. The delivery time is 4 to 7 days.

More braking power that stays the same lap after lap: that is what this V-Maxx kit gives the Civic EG and EK on the track.

Why choose this big brake kit Civic EG?

This kit combines a brake system that withstands repeated hard braking with the compact 290 mm disc size. Because the caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium, a material that conducts heat about 5 times better than steel, the kit cools down quickly. The directional cooling channels in the discs help with this. The big brake kit Civic EG comes complete, including sport brake pads and adapters, and thanks to the TÜV certificate it is also approved for use on public roads.

Frequently asked questions

Does the kit fit a Civic without ABS?

No. V-Maxx only approves this kit for the Civic EG/EH and EJ/EK with ABS and a hub centring diameter of 64.1 mm.

Does the big brake kit Civic EG fit behind my wheels?

The big brake kit Civic EG requires wheels of at least 15 inch. Check beforehand with the fitment template (WFC) whether there is enough room between the wheel and the caliper; in some cases a wheel spacer is required.

Is the big brake kit Civic EG suitable for a car with more power than standard?

Yes, definitely. A Civic with more power than standard benefits most from this kit: 290 mm discs and 4-piston calipers give more braking power and much less fade. The kW limits in the application list refer to the original factory output, and with an officially approved power upgrade the TÜV approval remains valid.

Is there also a V-Maxx kit for the rear axle?

No, V-Maxx only makes kits for the front axle. Around 90% of the braking power comes from the front axle.
