Is that for the front? I've been told they make them for the rear but I've been unable to find them. Do they actually make a rear kit?

I've seen them on the front and rear of a few cars but I'm thining they were civics and tegs. I don't remember seeing them on an Accord in the rear...

No listing on AEM's website for Accords except 98+ V6 coupes.

What a waste of money. Not only is it overpriced and underused (in most cases), but forces the need for bigger wheels which, in turn, will only slow you down.

Yeah. I know what you mean. If you can clear them with the wheels, put them on. Otherwise, just sell em on eBay.

They only need 16" wheels or bigger which is what most people will run anyway. They look way better than the dinky factory rotors behind larger wheels too. I will post pics later today.

Okay, yeah. All of you are idiots.

It's a luxury car. They aren't meant to be racecars.

If he wants to put bigger brakes and 19's, that's his deal.

I think these look better than stock rotors.

The car belongs to a friend of mine. I don't see any point in people bashing him because of his choice of wheels or his brakes.

Like I said, it's his choice to run these brakes and also his choice to run those wheels. Although it's not the most performance oriented set up, it does the job that they are meant to do.

He is by no means a "stunna", as most would consider someone with 19" rims.

I'm just sick of flaming people who are trying to sell something.
