Searching will help out a ton.

But here is my quick and inexpensive upgrade:

Brembo blank front rotors and axxis pads ( https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=831223 ) good prices too

Good read: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=923870

32 per brembo rotor and 25 for front pads. Not bad for ~100 dollars shipped

As for the rear if you want you can upgrade to the rear disc doing the conversion OR just leave your drums on and purchase some upgraded shoes .

I would say go with Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads. I have hawk pads and they are great.

BAM! good stuff there havn't read it, but im sure its the same as the 5th gen and upgrading to the legend rotors and 2 piston calipers....everyone who has done it that i've heard from have said it is awesome...and it'll stop you pretty damned fast. im waiting on some nice 15's or 16's before i get my set goodluck!

brembo blanks still warp

wagon/itr calipers is the cheapest fix.

why dont' you go with some Brembo x-drilled and slotted rotors? you can get some for a decent price. These are drilled and slotted by cnc machine. Brembo rotors comes blank, drilled only, and slotted only. but machine shop can combine drill and slot designs for better performance. people have their like and dislike of the combination, but great. i have them on my 92 accord for 3 years running. my brake pads last long. i use PBR or sumtime switch to axxis. i also have friends and family running with the same rotors.

92 accord 2dr - me
90 accord 4dr - lil bro
91 accord 4dr - lil sis
99 civic 2 dr - friend
04 accord v6 4dr- friend
99 civc hatchback - friend
95 accord 2dr - friend
96 bmw 3 series 2dr - friend
94 300zx - friend
and many more + customers.

i've sold many on ebay. ex. 3000gt, srt-4, El Camino, Viper, Mustang, Cobra, Corvette, HONDA, ACURA...... you name it. every rotor are specially designs and CNC machined for balance and performance. You can also get just slots or drills only.

well........its just a suggestion. you can take them rotors and have them changed by any mechanic, since there so hard to do. The mechanic charged me $80 for labor. the rotors should run you about $95-$125 depending where you get them from. but beware of fakers who tell you they selling brembo but give you chinese rotors. we'll as for me.....i sell what i list. if i list brembo i give brembo, if i list economy i give economy. you can contact me if you want more info.

good luck.
