Hi, I have an 06 2.4 Sedan and im looking to upgrade my rotors to these EBC's: http://www.autopartswarehouse....=2006

However, it looks like there are 2 diameter sizes, 10.2 and 11.1. Does anyone know what the correct size would be? Im also looking for Hawk HPS pads, but I cant find anything specific for the 06.

 

I'm thinking the difference is between US made and Japan made Accords, other than that I dont know what you would have...btw is there a good reason why you are doing this? seem like its gonna give you a lot of grief down the road.

First, those are far from being an upgrade and are a waste if you want real performance over bling. Stick with just the pads. I wouldn't touch EBC with a 10 ft. pole, either. Go Brembo if you must pimp out your brakes with X-drilling.

11.1" = Front

10.2" = Rear

Pads should be the same as the 2003/2004 model years.

 

If you want the pimp look, then just take off the caliper and paint it red. If you have the same size brakes, Honda vs. leading competitor, Honda wins in the end, and saves you all the grief. So, there is no reason to replace them unless you're going to go uber pimp and get a big brake kit and everything that goes with it.

If not, replacing the pads might not be a bad choice after 30k+ miles, but with an 06? Waste of cash IMO?

It cures the Accord rotor "warpage" issue by reducing pad deposits/DTVs.

The sixes have larger rotors than the fours, and the six-six coupe has front rotors that are slightly bigger than the six-six sedans, for whatever reason.

Not as much grief as the crap OEM's will...

Ugh, dumb question on my part. Didnt even see where it said "Rear"

I disagree. The Accord is my wifes, I have a TSX with Rotora cross drills and EBC green stuff pads and the stopping power is huge compaired to OEM, as well as the decrease in fade on longer runs...

Paint it red...cmon...

Is it the rotors, or the pads, that are doing that for you? I believe you're making a false correlation.

I think you are mistaken on this. AFAIK, all Gen7 accords, with the exception you noted for the 6-speed V-6 coupe, get 11.1" front rotors.
