Who makes the rear big brake kit for 94-97's accord? I got the front from AEM but they don't make one for the rear

 

70% or more of the braking is done by the front, upgrading the rear is unnecessary and a waste of money IMHO

plus if you want larger brakes up front dont waste your money on that aem cross drilled trash

upgrade to stock blanks off the wagon/v6 which use a larger caliper which is also on the itr's and instead of using the stock caliper go and buy a 4-piston wilwood or other stock replacement for the itr and a good set of pads, and boom your done

 

Whoa, take it easy on the AEM Kit. Some of us love our AEM Big Brake kits...

 

can you use wilwood 4-pistons with the aem discs? or is it still a differnet design?

Being that the AEM kit uses the stock calipers, I would imagine that if the kit is an OEM replacement/upgrade it would work. It may require a little fabrication.

 

actually now that i think on it, they wouldnt work. thats the whole reason you have to switch over to the v6 parts.

 

the best brake upgrade and cheapier then AEM big brake or whatever,

front: Brembo blanks from the v6/wagon accord, and 90-93 legend gs 2 piston calipers, cant go wrong with that

rear: brembo blanks and better pads

new brake lines all the way around

 

Don't forget some quality high temp fluid...

 

sorry i figured that was a given...but i guess i should have put it in there, thanks

 

You'd be surprised on how many people don't know that the fluid affects brake performance...

 

Well I have the aem big brake kit in the front with SSBC 4 pot calipers. I have cross drilled brembo rotors in the back but it just looks too puny with my 18inch rims.

 

very good point. hehe peronsally when i think about brakes i think of brake fluid, you can notice a difference with just some nice pads like axis ultamites(sp) and some nice fluid...but hey i guess everyone has to learn somewhere.

 

those 2pistons came on 94-95 GS sedans or 93-95 Coupes (believe all coupes, but if not definately the top trim has it).

anyone know the specs on the rear 94-95 legend GS sedan or 93-95 coupes are like? I'm curious if that caliper would fit up to the accord's rear brakes... keeping the brake setups a bit more balanced than heavy 2-pot calipers up front and dinky accord rear ones.

 

all you willl have to do is adj. your rear drums(if you have drums) thats what i did and it makes a large difference
