90-93 Accord Brake Upgrades
Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but the search comes up empty.....
Looking to see if Accord wagon calipers (91-93) and rotors are a direct bolt on to a 93 Accord SE? I see a blue million articles on Civics, but none for Accords. Can anyone advise or point me to a URL? Thanks!

so you say its the same as the fifth gen? is this the best upgrade for braking? useing the wagon rotors and is it the legend calipers? is this the best way to go?
or are aftermarket cross drilled, bremo's, etc. a better way?

Best? NO.
Most cost effective? Probably. An upgrade to 11 inch rotor with a fairly agressive streetable pad (Axxis Ultimate, Porterfield R4S) is more braking performance than most need.
In terms of rotors, Brembo blanks are all that is necessary IMO. Slotted and/or drilled rotors are much more costly and offer little or no performance advantages.
My ITR (which shares the same caliper and rotor specs with the Accord Wagon) has almost unreal braking performance. I'm just hoping to improve the braking of the heavier Accord somewhat. Right now, I'm scared when driving it
No brakes, no brakes.....lol.

Oh, stock-sized Brembo blanks and a pad like Carbotech Panther Plus give the Accord more than enough for any track situation. The tiny brake components do have to work hard though.
I am upgrading to wagon/V6 calipers and rotors for increased peace of mind on the track and hopefully longer pad longevity too.
