Default V6 Brakes On To 4cyl?

Wondering If I can swap the V6 brakes/lug bolts on to a 4cyl Accord?
6th Generation by the way.

5 bolt V6 is 5 x 114.3 . From what I know it can be a pretty costly swap, but it may be worth it cause I know their are a lot more rims out their for 5 x 114.3 than 4 x 114.3.

You can always try a wrecker for parts.

Does anyone offer a brake upgrade kit for the V6? I know Comptech does but it's pretty pricey. I figure you could buy a front and rear upgrade kit and then buy any little pieces you might need.

there are a few brake kit upgrades for the v6. there's the brembo big brake kit, AEM big brake kit, and the rotora big break kit. there might be others but those are the ones that i am familiar with.

which big brake kit you think is the best regardless of the cost, which is the most effective, i am going for the AEM but in a post put up a while back someone told me that they are useless brakes and are merely for show and not function, i disagree, everyone tells me they are awesome, and increase stopping power and pedal feel immensly, any idea guys?

On an RSX tested by one mag, I forgot which one, it increased the stopping distance.

i'm not sure which one is the best. everyone that i have talked to with each kit like them because they are an upgrade over stock, which is kind of "squishy." i think more people buy the AEM big brake kit than the brembo or rotora. my friend has the AEM big brake kit and he loves it. even though AEM is pretty good, i think i would choose the Brembo Big Brake kit if money was not an option just because it's Brembo
