Got 95Accord EX, it time to change my brakes, wondering any suggetions what to look/buy. thinking to upgrade to aftermarket instead changing to original. Any suggestions?
Thks!

 

if yer goin after market get the AEM big braking system. its really good

 

Why not the Legend or AV6 upgrade.

 

What year legends brakes can i use?
there is 2 good conditioned 4 dr legends trashed and ready to dump around my way... i have a 94 lx coupe wondering what i would need to take from those legends to upgrade??

 

if you search back through some old topics you will find some detailed explanations on what you need to do the Legend swap

In my greatest opinion, and this is from a guy who has tested Accord brakes to their fullest limit on track, just upgrade to a better pad, try axxis ultimates or similar brands

it is just my opinion that spending money on a brake upgrade when you cannoit even come close to fading your brakes is a waste

try giving Andie at CobaltFriction a call or shoot him an email, the web address is http://www.cobaltfriction.com and discuss your needs, he is my brake supplier and will not let you down

I second that, they stop like a mo' fo'. if no aftermarket, get a good set of pads

 

brembo rotors and a set of ebc pads

Second That, give Andie W Lin a buzz. (No, I'm not affiliate with cobalt friction).

on My 5th Gen, I have brembo drilled rotor with Axxis Ultimate with stock calipers. But if I have time, I'd go with CL setup(rotor over hub). Just to let you know that 5th Gen accord has hub over rotor for front setup and it's a pain to change the front rotor.

you might want to have these two links handy if you decided to upgrade the brakes:

IMO: I have heard some people don't like AEM big brake kit for some reason.

Good luck.

if those are both 94-95 GS sedans, then you are lucky. Those came w/ 2 piston calipers which are nice. be sure to get the brackets or you will be stuck trying to find a working pair.

you can use Accord wagon/v6 rotors and calipers (with correct brackets, 25T or 28T... or 23T maybe if you get it machined) which are larger than the stock 95 accord.

btw, anohter thumbs up for cobalt friction, good service and prices. Plus the g3000 rotors they sell are nice, painted rotor hats and edges too to combat rust.
