It seems anywhere I look, the only brake upgrades are for the front. If you want to race your car on the track, is a front upgrade sufficient? I would have thought you want to upgrade all brakes.

Any opinions on this and also is there any better upgrade that will upgrade both front and rear?

I've seen people doing the legend brake upgrade but that just won't be enough for me. So i'm looking for a bigger brake upgrade...and i DONT want to use AEM's big brake upgrade.

 

brembo makes a BBK for the accord

 

useless to upgrade only the front brakes, it throws off the brake bias and causes the rear tires to have less traction with the ground during a braking event, and causes the fronts to lock up long before the rear....among other nasty problems... my friend who works for GM as a head engineer in the concept car department (has several cover cars for Motor Trend and the like), and I have had many discussions about the subject, BBK are a waste of money, they WILL NOT stop a car faster - other than the idea that at 60mph you're traveling at 88ft/sec and if you can brake 1 tenth of a second, you stopped 8ft sooner......and actually, in most tests that magazines have done, BBK increased stopping distances.

You absolutely have to at least have an adjustable proportioning valve (most kits do not include one), and preferably a rear uprade kit as well if you want to improve stopping. But other than tire contact and tire compound, there isn't much one can really do to improve braking - other than longer sustained braking (heat)

 

too expensive for what you get. I went the route of the CL rotor-over-hub swap w/ 11" rotors and the slightly larger 57mm/2.25" piston calipers. you can get 2 piston calipers as well. All in all costed me about $350-400 and that was for new hubs, bearings, calipers, and rotors.

 

Yea but I want a 4 piston caliper setup and I DO need the stopping power with the engine I'll be running.

 

well the money diff between the two routes can be put to use for much better tires and/or more sets which ultimately affects braking power as well.

Is your car going to be faster then an NSX? Because they use the same 2 piston caliper as the Legend GS, just slightly lighter. Don't get me wrong if I had the money I would get Brembo but for the money you can't beat a set of legend calipers.
