You had trouble finding a brake kit? You really must not be trying that hard.

Stoptech/Rotora/Brembo....

Don't get drilled/slotted rotors. They are more prone to crack and they have less stopping power then blanks. They are simply for looks.

cross drilled/slotted rotors are for heat disipitation, let gasses between pad and rotor to escape, weight savings, and in some cases to 'clean' the pad. but unless your tracking your car its not neccessary

4-PISTON CALIPERS!!! This big brake kit will greatly reduce stopping distances and really improve the performance look of your Accord. The kit is made up of top of the line race inspired components. Stock offset wheels will not work with this kit. The calipers stick out further (because of pistons on the outside) and will require a wheel with less offset than stock or the use of wheel spacers.
Kit includes:
2-piece cross-drilled & slotted 12.2" rotors
Wilwood 4 piston calipers
Wilwood performance brake pads
Front stainless steel braided brake hoses
Caliper brackets
Hub to rotor adapters
All necessary hardware and instructions

You can also do the Acura Legend brake swap. An inexpensive alternative.

Only problem is that they are rare to find as a GS legend.

As you increase your Accord's performance, the stock brakes quickly become inadequate. You can now replace your 10" factory rotors and improve braking while still being able to use the 15" factory wheels. The TASPRO kit includes two 11" cross-drilled rotors, two front caliper brackets, Carbomet brake pads and the proper brake pad clips. For use with 15" or larger wheels. For even more stopping power, check out the Braided Steel Brake Lines.
$250 plus shipping

Because you can't go to your local auto parts store and ask for calipers for a GS Legend, right?
