LOL no, because if it is 4x114 and you have 4x100 wheels then your not going to have wheels to put back on your car.

In conclusion that does look like accord front knuckles, and would give that dude more than 30 bucks for the set. Ball joints are shot, along with the rotors and pads.

GL!

You could always re drill 4x114.3 to 4x100 tons of people have done it.

i've seen better crap in junk yards LOL. the knuckle is the only think worth using in my opinion...after it is sandblasted and painted again. brake components are not something i want second hand unless you know the history of where they came from and how long they have been sitting. those have been in the weather a while it looks like. too much trouble IMO to fix up

8 hole? so i am guessing they are 4x114 and 4x100? in that case you could use accord breaks.

Chances are without modifaction no the accord calipers wont work.
Have you looked into getting a civic ex or si brake setup? that will bolt right on without any custom work.
And also, i would be highly suprised if those calipers arent frozen.

unless you're taking your car to the track, it's not worth the trouble going bigger on your brakes. kind of like when people buy drilled/slotted rotors for just daily street driving.

the SI brakes will do you just find if you want it so bad. just my 2 cents.

what size are prelude or accord? i always thought they were 10.3'', which is the same as si.
You could also look into to 11.1'' break setups, friend has this and when she hits the breaks they will put you in the freaking dash!

Good rotors and pads, will do a great deal.
But i am also quilty of wanting bigger breaks, i picked up full si for my dx, cant wait to install them.

GL with what ever you decide to do.

meh, i never really cared for abs, I am very happy my car does not have it.
A preludes 4x100? People have always used itr rotors and calipers on normal civic hubs.
