u sure u're experiencing brake fade??? if so, i'd recommend changing your rotors/pads/fluid and maybe get some rebuilt calipers depending on how many miles u have on your accord.

for rotors get some brembo blanks or even oem ones are fine.
for pads, get either autozone performance friction, AEM pads, or hawk HPS unless u're some hardcore autox'er or road racer.
flush your fluid with some valvoline dot3 fluid.

of if u have the $$$ and time, u can upgrade to a non-pressed-on-hub setup and do the CL swap, for more info on that search accordinglydone.com cause they have a DIY on there. goodluck!!!

Yeah, Are you sure it is brake fade?
Maybe you need to bleed your brakes.
