Anybody know what wilwood (or other brands) big brake kit they use on their CD5? It is unlisted but I've seen a few with them (unless it is a mix and match).

Google doesn't help, Ksport and D2 are overkill and overly priced.

Cheers.

 

Get an NSX setup if you can, it really is a ridiculous setup and completely bolt on.

 

I know AEM made one at one time.

MuffinMan will come in here and tell you that you can upgrade the brakes using NSX parts and its a heck of alot cheaper and just as good.

 

LMAO Posted at the EXACT same time! hahahaha

 

tasauto.com has one also i believe.

 

I would do the wagon brakes upgrade. If you need parts its easy and cheap. Aftermarket big brake kits will cost a ton if you need one replacement part.
I would recommend TAS auto or buy them at your local auto shop.

Here is my big brake swap. Washers are the only thing I needed.

*high five*

Haha, seriously though. That was easily one of the best upgrades I did to my Accord - which is back up for sale

Wagon Rotors (1" larger)
V6 Brackets
NSX Calipers

Keeps it HoR but gives you an extreme amount of force. You can also do RoH conversions as well with the Prelude VTEC setup

 

Current setup I have:

23T Bracket
1998 V6 Calipers
Wagon Slotted Rotors
Standard Lines
Green Stuff EBC Pads

Drive through mountain (aka hills) on the weekend, thought that it needs something more...

 

Well, honestly

Slotted rotors aren't doing anything for you. Brembo Blanks are definitely sufficient.

The V6 calipers don't hold candle to the Legend (or better NSX) brakes. Upgrading your lines to stainless will help some pedal feel and help with the braking a touch.

Fresh fluid (like ATE Super Blue) will help out a lot

And those pads are *meh* you may want to look at some Bobcats or Hawks

 

dont flame me if its already been talkied about but has anyone ever done a cheap upgrade like that for the rears or are they better stock

 

I actually found the Brembo Sport Slotteds in stock replacement size to give an upgrade over "blanks".. I know there is less contact area but I feel like the pad has more bite with the slotteds... could just be my take but the price I got it for was a steal..

Hawk HPS pads are definitely my vote without a doubt
ATE SuperBlue fluid is the best value in fluids, Goodridge SS lines also help!

So my "basic" upgrade cost me about ~$300 in parts and I considered it worthwhile if you are on a tight budget..

If you got $ to spare NSX (or legend) calipers are definitely the way to go.. Larger rotors would also help.. entirely up to you if you want slotted or blanks but my vote is for the former


Gotta ask kccord, what rubber you running on your car cause you will pretty quickly realise your brakes are not the weak point but your tyres are....
Case in point me and my upgrade, just waiting to kill off the last life of my Sumitomo HTR's before moving up to probably Bridgestone RE960 Pole Positions...

 

You just mentioned something I neglected, and that was tires.

Tires are crazy important with stopping distances.

 

Why do you want to?

 

i have an ex so i already have disc..just wonderin if anybody has done anything to the rears to keep the system balanced after a front upgrade

 

Question I have is would it be beneficial to change/upgrade the proportioning valve as well? I have a Non ABS chassis. I am doing the Ex rear disc swap as well as the Acura Legend BB upgrade.

So would it be better to use this proportioning valve (I4 w/drums) 46210-SV4-A01 or this one (V6 Ex Wagon rear disc) 46210-SV6-K00. My brain tells me to go with the V6 PV

 

Shoot someone should buy my wagon calipers , and do this project on their sedan.

 

Speaking of which, how much would you want for them shahriar and how did your upgrade eventually work out.. I remember muffin and myself giving you some nice tips when you did yours...

What tyres are all of you running with your upgraded brake setups?

 

The EX/V6/Wagon also have a larger MC, not by much but it is larger, it would probably require a new brake booster (I never got around to checking those part numbers.)

So if you're doing it you may want to do the prop valve, MC, and check on the booster while you're at it.

 

The upgrade went fine. I had the hardest time taking of the axle bolt so I just took it to my mechanic and I did the work there. He did one side and I did the other, since he was making fun of me. I did the Stainless steel lines by myself.

I have a brand new set master cylinder which is badly needed on my car because of a leak, hopefully after that is install I should not have anymore issues with my brakes.

Im currently running some Enkei mm2 16" wheels with Hankook RS2 tires, 215/45/16 because of a close out.

I just need the master cylinder and we should be good to go.

I will let the calipers go for $85 local and $100 shipped.

Thanks
Shah

 

I have a 96 accord coupe 2.2 and was wondering if anyone knew of any good brake kits?? i like the idea of the wagon or NSX parts, if those are the best for your money can someone let me know what parts id need?

 

Take a look through the FAQ section at the top of the Accord forum. There are links to brake swaps in there and list all of the required parts. or you could visit TAS Auto's website and pick from one of their complete brake upgrade kits.

 

Ahh awesome thanks again Ghostaccord
