Also, the wagons on the 90-93 cb9's have bigger brakes as well, something you may want to look into.

Look through the accord FAQ there is an article about it.
I took off the whole sub frame assembly off a 93 with ABS and bolted that bastard right on my 92 non ABS. It came with a sway bar too :-) It cost about $185 for the whole shebang.

Hmm.. I always expected the cost to be quite a bit more than this....

Interesting, makes me consider doing it on my 97

How much of an improvement in braking did it give you considering that you still had no ABS (same as me)
Also, what percentage of the braking force do you think is actually allocated to the rear, disc or not
