Honda parts reviews

PIAA silicone blades all the way. They last forever (years) and the blades apply a rain-x like coating on the windshield.

In the end, anything is better than that garbage Firestone FR740 OE tires. That tire is crap on light snow, and so so in the rain. I am very happen I have better tires now.

The only weak point of the driving experience can be the brakes. The stock rotors are not totally up to the kind of driving that car demands. This is easily remedied by aftermarket rotors and they are super cheap.

The oranges are similar to yellows on full soft, but with a bit less low speed compression damping IIRC (basically, a bit more comfort oriented). They're a great way to get a better quality shock at a lower price point.

We tried a set on our HS Civic, then onto my codrivers CS NC. They're notably off pace from other 200tw (down in grip even to the RS-RR), but they wore like iron and communicated at the limit. Very solid for the money.

I bought Bosch Envision wipers for my daughter's Honda and they worked well but were over $50 for the pair.

I run Nokian WRG3s on a Civic. I found they were great, particularly in the shoulder seasons -- it means I don't switch to my winters until it's actually fully winter. Great for those times (like this october) where the weather is all over the place.

Timing belt is only issue with these.

My last two sets of tires were Hankook Ventus V2, which were okay (no idea how they are M+S rated) and a set of Continental ContiProContacts which I bought after several recommendations from friends and I will never buy another Continental tire in my life, they were terrible in almost every single way.

speaking of wipers....can we talk about how horrible the Honda 'Inside out' ones are? :screwy: :thumbdown:
