How's the braking? Worth the investment?

Thanks,

well his site is being updated so you can only see a couple pictures right now. not worth it for a street car imo.

A better investment would be some better rubber first. F' the 4-pot upgrades until then. Were you planning on Brembo$??

In fact, its sooo far down the line in mods after suspension, braided steel lines, syn brake fluid and good rubber its almost pointless unless you can get them for free or close to it. Not trying to crap on your parade.

i am upgrading to legend calipers and V6 rotors in the front, stainless lines all around, and converting the rear to disc (it was cheap and it looks better so don't hate).

i'll let everyone know how it turns out.

 

I really dont know why you want to spend so much money on new calipers and rotors, stock stuff works great with the right pads.

 

true....just add stainless steal lines to ur stock calipoers, prob will work just as good. with out spending so much on everything else.

wana stop at a shorter distance.? just press harder on the pedal @@

the ss lines wont decrease stopping distances either, they only help wih pedal feel.

 

is that site w/ the brembo's "usc" from hondasociety/honda-acura.net?

in any case, if you have a 4th gen accord, you can choose a larger oem brake upgrade.

you may use a 4th/5th gen wagon rotor or 5th gen V6 rotor w/ any larger 11" rotor designed honda caliper for the fronts.

or you may use the 98-99 2.3 CL hubs w/ 3.0 CL rotors.

 

calipers do matter...and those brembo's are ******* sweet...i dunno if any of you have ridden in an evo 8, but that thing stops in such a short distance and it does so over and over again...anyways, rubber does matter if you lock up your brakes, but the pads and calipers matter as well...if you wanna go fast, you gotta stop fast too...

 

true. there is no way that just upgrading the stock pads will compare to a new caliper and rotor set-up. Its just illogical.

Sure, upgrading pads will work great for some people. But the bottom line is that bigger rotors and calipers will work even that much better.

I would rather have too much brake than just "adequate".
