what year are those for?

 

I think I put 94-97 Accord

 

Yeah, probably...cause when I was looking for a BBK, I couldn't find any for the 98-02 Accord.

I found a Big Brae kit for my cl, was listed for my cl, was 2 g's though

 

That was a Brembo Gt Turismo with the lines , rotors and calipers..the $500 dollar kit is only the rotors and some kits throw in the calipers

 

The link you sent said it was fronts only for $500

 

how fast u plannin on goin in your cl.. i dont think anyone on this board needs to stop 500$ fast..

 

You can always use extra braking power.

 

i think its more looks that performance

 

I care more about braking power than looks. Looks are a bonus though.

I used to not worry about brakes, but with this heavy ass car I've had too many close calls. Brakes are the most neglected parts when mod'ing.

 

Yeah I know that is why only the fronts are gonna get done for now, but that $500 is retail so I'm sure at a local shop I can get a better price. Plus what Moto said brakes are neglected when modding and plus they look hot too..

 

this heavy ass car is a pain to stop, I'm doin cross/slotted rotors, new pads, and ss brake lines, in order to stop this honkin piece of metal. Just wish my ABS light wouldn't keep coming on AGAIN

 

I'd take care of that ABS light. Would scare me to be driving like that. And check out this forum...

Find your way to the stop drop and roll section for brake info. They all say get blanks, so I got blanks.

 

for 1000$ for the whole set, youd better stop on a dime from 150.

 

What whole set? You don't get front and back, just front.

 

sorry but nothing but nothing on the list will help except for the new pads..and they'll only help slightly...i guess you can say you have cool looking brakes though....

 

its not just the pads helping to stop quicker, its a combination of things helping. rotors, pads, and i believe lines. if it was just pads helping to stop quicker infinity would have just put good pads on the g35, instead they installed the brembos on to help reduce the distance needed to stop.

 

is this 500$ kit just for the rotors and caliper mounts? thats rediculous. maybee its cause i dont have 500$

 

aircraft quality hardware.......

as someone who fixes aircrafts for a living, thats not something to bragg about.

 

If you think about it another way, like it could prevent an accident that could cost thousands, then it's a bargain. I don't have that kinda money either, so I'm going a different route. Prelude rotors and NSX calipers. Only costing me about $150 not including pads.

PS. You and chucks have like the same exact avatar.

 

your right he'd better change it or im gonna break his hips.

so after that youd be buying nsx brake pads? they have 2 pistons right?

 

hint hint charles

 

Yup, NSX pads. Then I can pretend to have one at the auto store.

 

hell yea.. good idea.. ill try it.

 

Yeah and when they follow you outside to see your NSX they be like WTF he got a CL and an automatic.

 

poor automatics get no love...

 

as not to thread jack (and i do it alot), quick answer: once you lock up your tires you are not going to stop any faster

 

i believe the whole purpose and design for ABS is to stop the brakes from locking up like when u have brakes with no abs. the technology abs uses is when u hit the brakes there is a constant force applied to the rotors off and on. its kind of like a piston. when the engine is on it constantly goes up and down. the calipers do the same, they go in and out to slow the car faster and stop ur brakes from locking up.

i had mine first!

 

threshold braking will stop your car faster than abs....abs just helps prevent you from going way over the tire threshold so you can still have some sort of manuevability (like dodging a car or something)...but you are already over the limit once abs comes on (depending how good the system is)

 

I dont think even a pro can stop a car faster than ABS.

 

yes they can...it's a simply concept: no abs = threshold braking - constant clamping power at the tire's braking limit or abs = on and off braking past the tire's braking limit..and some prefer abs as a precaution considering they can burn through rubber straight to the cords on one lockup you can expect most to love having abs on while others don't..it's a driver's preference

abs will never stop a car faster than threshold braking..it was designed to do other things

 

mine looks better

 

mine will look better once i get my hands on a digi cam.

 

Wilp has more posts so he gets seniority!

 

battle lost. wilp wins.

 

You know an easy way to mod your brakes is to go with better brake fluids that can withstand higher temps. Like Dot 5 or 5.1

I have synthetic Dot 4 that is suppose to withstand higher temps than your usuall Dot 4's

Also, when it comes to pads, go with the "green stuff".

 

He's right guys...once your over your tires limit, you actually take longer to brake.

 

and yeah, wilp's brakes look better than yours chuckz
