SKF on rockauto.com are good quality but at a premium, mevotech are mid line but decent for the price.

 

For wheel bearing go with SKF. The front bearings are press in and the rear are built into the hub assembly so you have to buy the whole wheel hub.

for brakes im running powerstop blank rotors with akebono pads

 

I don't see skf listed for our cars but rockauto does have timken which is another good option.

OP, as mentioned above the fronts are pressed in so you will need a press or shop willing to swap them out for you. Easiest is to remove the knuckle and swap the bearings.

I know skf makes the rear hub assemblies cause weve used them on several civics that have come in needing rear bearings but yeah im looking now through our vendor and dont see skf for the front bearings but NSK makes front bearings and weve used them on multiple vehicles with no issues

 

Word of warning: Be careful with part numbers on our generation of Civic. Especially regarding brake, driveline, and suspension parts. I've noticed a lot of parts labelled as "fitting" our Si are actually for the regular Civics or for 8th gen's. Make sure to cross-reference with multiple sites before pulling the trigger.

As an example: I recently changed the wheel bearings when I swapped to ARP wheel studs and the first NSK set I received from Rockauto was the wrong part (It had no magnets for the wheel speed sensors). Let me tell you finding that out AFTER you've installed them is no bueno. I ended up just going with the OEM NSK's after that. They of course worked as you'd expect.

12FG4Rallye's suggestions for rotors and pads is good. I've run the Akebono pads numerous times and never had an issue.

 

I would stay with the oem parts, especially with a Si. There are a lot of aftermarket parts some good and a lot not so good. You never know what part of the world an aftermarket company is getting their raw materials from. In Japan they import and buy American steel. Why, because it is the best steel in the world, they use good materials to make their cars last longer.

 

Timken wheel bearings are top of the line wheel bearings and definitely exceed OEM. If you want longevity and reliability, you can’t go wrong with Timken. You do not need to replace wheel bearings at the same time but it is a good practice. Wheel alignment should be performed after front wheel bearing replacement. Steering angle neutral position relearn procedure should also be performed after the front bearing replacements and wheel alignment.

 

Timken wheel bearings are top of the line wheel bearings

I have had bad experience with Timken lately, and am reconsidering my brand loyalty to them.
I would go SKF over Timken IMHO

Also, Timken warranty is only 1 year, Mevotech BXT is 5 year, and very competitively priced on rockauto.com

rockauto also honours and handles the warranty claims and returns very efficiently, whether you go with Timken or any other wheel bearings from them.
