Default Bigger brake setup for Turbo CD5 Accord..

I have heard that you can upgrade the front brakes on the 94 Accord EX (That I have) to 95 Prelude rotors and calipers... I was told that they are larger diameter, and that everything bolts on.

Is there anything I should know about the swap before starting to look for parts???? Has anyone done this before???

Also are there any other brake swaps that are doable.... Keep in mind that the EX has the ABS setup....

Thanks for your help guys

same bolt pattern on the discs if you stick to 94 gs. anyway, we just take the calipers and put them on.

yes, bigger pistons, and 2 of them. You can use Prelude discs with them.

If you go with the AccordV6, Prelude, Legend, ect upgrade with the 11" rotors then 15" is the smallest you can go.

If you go with one of those big brake kits that some companies sell, your most likely looking at 17" as the smallest.
