I agree that $2,500 is way to much for a upcoming brand.

You can get some Wilwood or brembo big brake kits for that and know you'll have a GOOD setup.

TASauto.com has some cheap big brake upgrades.

I personally have PowerSlot slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads sitting here in my room waiting to be installed once I finish paying off my paint job.

You will throw your braking balance so far off with 8 piston calipers in the front. Even 6 piston will throw you completely out of wack. Those are meant for actual race cars and not the casual enthusiast - and don't try to say you need them.

The braking setup I had was ridiculously good and costs under $300 to do properly.

- NSX calipers
- 11.1" Accord Wagon or Prelude Rotors (you can do RoH conversion same time)
- Earl's SS lines
- New OEM BMC
- Good pads (I had shitty ones though)

If that's not enough braking power for you then you're doing a bad job haha.

I don't see anything for Accords? Just an Accord wagon that doesn't exist in the US. Are you hoping to use the Preludes 5-lug?

I side with MuffinMan. 8 piston is way too much.......you can do an OEM Big brake upgrade like he did, or just a 2 piston or 4 piston caliper swap and be more than enough. I mean I could see getting new brakes to help out stopping, but unless you are speeding all the time, or hitting almost 200 on the 1/4 mile, what's need for such a big brake upgrade?

I mean I do not disagree it would be one ridiculous upgrade and could easily stop on a dime.

That is horrible logic. Not only is it a completely different MY/brake setup but it's the Japanese variant of it. If you want to waste $1000 + shipping to try it out I guarantee you're not going to be able to sell it again if it doesn't fit. Or you'll spend double in fabricating/piecing together parts. The brake setup I suggested above is the best budget setup.
