I'm fairly sure the V6 rotors are the same as the wagon ones, which are listed as 25mm wide.

V6 rotors are 5 lug and cant be used on 4 cylinder Accords.

hondaautomotive parts does show the same part numbers for 5th gen V6 and Wagon rotors and Calipers, so according to that, it wouldnt matter which u ordered for.

5th gen V6's were still 4-lug, they didnt switch to 5-lug til the 6th gen accords.

I heard they have a cut-off of 80 cars and if you don't preregister you might not get in. Is this true? If I still have my car, I'll probably show up anyway. It's been a while since I ran there.

Yo Chameleon.. I have an 97 EX w/ ABS... would I still be able to do this upgrade ? Are my stock calipers single piston ?? Also... what would I have to order to make this swap happen and where could I order it ? New from Acura or used ?? I already have aftermarket rotors ... would my ABS still work ?

Re: 2Piston Legend Calipers on my SIR Accord! *pics* (Escobar)
What aftermarket rotors do you have? Replacements for your stock rotors? This swap requires new larger rotors.
Your calipers are indeed single piston.
Everything detailed in this post will work for you.
Read Carefully. Do a search. There's more threads out there covering this as well.
Buy everything new except for the calipers. They would be way to much for brand new parts. Check out junkyards. Woodfins is a good start.

Well are they for an Accord Wagon? Where did you get them? Seems strange you have these rotors but know nothing about them.
