I believe they will not work. You need the 98-01 years.

NO!

Look for Rotors specifically for 1998 or later.

Rotors for the '97 3.0 are completely different in their design.

The Accord AEM CAI 98-00 will fit your 98 3.0, but any rotors not designed specifically for the 98 3.0 CL will not work out right.

You can try it, but my guess would be no. The 98 3.0 CL platform for rotors is a bit different from the accords and the other CL's...therefore you would have to get it specifically for the CL 3.0 98. Definitely give us a heads up though on what you choose.

tw112: I've been wondering the same: whether the 98+ Accord front discs will fit on the 98 3.0 CL's. It seems kinda strange for Honda/Acura to use a specific rotor for just one of their cars.

If we can just get a hold of a willing 98 Accord-4cyl owner...

Well in case this sheds any light on this I have a '98 2.3 CL with brembo crass drilled and slotted rotors front and back. The rotors that I have fit both a '98 2.3 CL and any '98+ 4 cylinder Accord. So I doubt a 3.0 CL can use a '98+ 4 cylinder Accords rotors.

The rotors on my '98 2.3 are basically help up by these two big phillips screws in the front which basically don't do anything. What keep the rotors in place are the wheel and the lugs that hold the wheel up. These screw were a bitch to take off and broke 2 of my screwdriver bits. After you take off the old rotors basically put in the new ones and your done. Oh you have to remove the brake caliper out of the way but that’s pretty easy.

Has anyone with a 99 2.3 upgraded their rotors?
I got a quote on labor from a honda/acura repair shop of something like 4 hours labor last year, so i didn't pursue it after that.
