Honda Civic (10th Gen) Big Brake Kit Upgrade / TTSPORT Classic 8611

The 10th-generation Honda Civic built its reputation on strong performance for the class, sharp styling, and serious mod potential — but the factory brakes were never the highlight. This build swaps the stock setup on a 1.5T Civic for a TTSPORT Classic 8611 forged six-piston big brake kit, aimed at drivers who want more clamping force and a firmer pedal without giving up their 17-inch wheels.

The car came in on 17-inch wheels — a common size for this generation of Civic — and the shop installed the TT8611 caliper, a 330x28mm high-carbon heat-treated curved rotor, and TTSPORT stainless steel brake lines as a complete front axle kit.

Vehicle & Kit Specs

TT8611 is one of TTSPORT's popular street kits — a thin, lightweight six-piston caliper designed to clear 16-, 17-, and even 18-inch wheels without spacers. The caliper body is forged from aluminum alloy rather than cast, which keeps weight down while holding up to repeated braking loads.

Why It Works

• Forged aluminum construction: at roughly 2.10 kg per caliper, the lighter unsprung weight improves ride quality and how the suspension responds to bumps.
• Six pistons with differential (unequal) bore sizes apply more even pressure across the pad as it moves through the caliper, which helps keep pedal feel linear rather than grabby.
• The larger 330x28mm rotor gives more swept area and mass than the factory disc, which means more surface to shed heat during hard or repeated braking.
• The kit is sized to clear 16-, 17-, and 18-inch wheels, so this Civic didn't need spacers or a wheel change to run it on its stock 17-inch rims.
