Brake Upgrade Options

[Rusty Accord]

the 4 cylinder ex model accords were still 4 lug and had rear disc brakes, so you would use everything from there. the parts you need from the ex are the rear knuckles, hubs (which come complete with the wheel bearing), calipers, pads, rotors, brake lines, and ebrake cables. everything will swap right on.

Thank you.

so just to clarify all i need is the rsx type s rotors and I can just reuse the accord calipers and brakes on them? I just want to know before i tackle this project this week. Thanks in advance for the replies.

^Your front rotors are 11.1" in diameter, so an 11.8" diameter rotor would not work with the stock bracket.

ok gotchu so what brackets do you recommend for it?

 

[RedRyder]

Not sure, you would have to dig around on various Honda/Acura sites to see what you can find out.

i looked around and could not find any other info on this specific upgrade. I thinking a 28t bracket but i not for sure

 

[suenoz]

guess i wont be doing the upgrade after all i could not find anything else on the rsx swap so im going to just go with my cars original rotors instead

Working on making a Brembo BBK kit available to most of the Hondas out here using the Hyundai Genesis coupe front brembo calipers. Testing different rotors at the moment.

The calipers themselves are direct bolt ons unlike the Acura TL Brembos that have larger holes that require spindle swaps.

These Genesis Brembos fit perfectly to factory equipment and can even reuse stock brake hoses.

Should post updates within the week.

Dang, Brother, good to see you're still around.

Happy New Year, hope all is well.

And because I am lazy, how would this setup compare to the RL BBK?
