alright guys, i know a few of you are itching to know what has been brewing regarding this. Ok this is what i have gotten so far:

brembo blanks for 4dr 5th gen accord v6 dimensions: 11.1"x23mm(min)
same calipers as per above
russel ss braid lines
new wheel bearings
porterfeild hp plus pads for the same app

i got the calipers from woodfins for 90 bucks shipped, brembo blanks from coletti motors (thanks guys) for 36 each i think plus shipping, the pads were 85 bucks plus shipping, and i have a set of carbotech panther plus' which i think im gonna send back after a dispute of pad dimension (long story). In light to cory's interlude () regarding the 4th gen lude vtec front brake conversion, that is also an option albeit a much better one due to the fact you would have floating rotor instead of hub over rotor, and the third option would have been to do 5-lug conversion using parts from the 1st gen odyssey, which is a bit more cosly due to need for new wheels. but i will try to get a digi or web cam to take some pisc of the progress

 

Sweet! .. Now, we got to see if morgan or dave will try the 4th gen prelude VTEC swap..

 

not for a while, the money is gone

 

DOH!

 

Oh, man, Woodfins. I got my motor from there. Although I'm very happy with the motor, I'm very unhappy with Woodfins... what a bunch of morons (not like I'd expect geniuses working at a junkyard). Anyways I check out their site for calipers, I saw ~$65 for 96-97 4 cyl wagon or 6 cyl sedan calipers. I guess that's each. Did you pay $90 for both? What year car are they from?

 

yeah 96, but ho dong! you have a 4th gen accord let me do some reaserch for you first

edit go fourth, it is the same layout for the 4th and 5th gen forgot it is the same on this one

Oh cool thanks Misa.
I'm not doin brakes until first thing next year. I've got to do all this stuff first. I really want to see how it turns out for you. Have you got the hubs yet? Which hubs are you going with? I'm going the 4g Prelude way 'cause I've got so many sets of 4 lug wheels.

 

Oh wait, I guess all the 'kord hubs are 4 lug too, but the dreadful hub-over-rotor design.

 

well i did njot go there, im still gonna use the accord layout, b/c i already have the rotors and new bearings, and am running short on loot, and just have parts piling up in my place
