Just ordered some new rotors & brake pads today (should be here by end of this week).

KVR Performance (known brand in Canada), had a 50% off sale for their Slotted rotors, which I decided to order since my brakes are due for replacement.

For the front and rear slotted rotors, I ordered them with cadmium silver plating.

I believe the price isn't too bad for the rotors @ $165 for pair of fronts & $147 for pair of rears).

If anyone wants to upgrade their rotors and/or pads, check out KVR.

I'll post actual pix once I recieved them.

Still sitting on fence regarding replacing the OEM brake lines to Stainless Steel Braided lines -- any advice?

Also what have others suggest...upgrading OEM calipers? Mine are gross looking now...

 

I got all 4 rotors x-drilled and slotted for $160 shipped...



Oh and pads came out to another $80 for ceramic pads from auto zone

 

From where? KVR's, or what brand?

Remember You get what you pay for.

 

for the most part,but then you gotta get into, did he just get a hell of a hookup on good rotors

 

I know the conversion is there, but that's a lot of money for a set of rotors.

Def get the steel braided lines

And if you wanna upgrade the rotors, get Legend Type-II dual piston calipers

 

if youre going low budget, just paint your calipers or go with legend calipers. if youre going with a very large budget, go with willwood or brembo. i only know of one guy on her whos done a willwood big brake kit, but it sounds like youre a little past that since you already got rotors and pads

 

It was R1 concepts off of ebay. They are still on my car with no warping or anything and i put about 25-30k miles on them... I dont remember when I put them on other than knowing it was a while ago and I drive a lot....

I mean hell I got the car with 67k miles a year and a half ago. Right now i'm pushing 103500

 

so i guess the deal wasn't that hot then? i did it more on an impulse buy

so stainless steel brake line is the next part of the upgrade

one last thing, if i already ordered the rotors & pads (pretty much OEM replacement sizing) will picking up some legend calipers still be able to be matched up to the rotors & pads? sorry this is a very noob question...

thanx

 

You almost doubled the mileage in a year and a half... Drive much?

 

Yeah... Little bit...

But I have to. I have 3 classes a day all spread apart so I drive home in between. Thats 10 miles one way. Then I drive to work which is another 5. Oh and the trips to Philly, VA, Atlantic City, NY, Harrisburg, Baltimore and the rest of them dont help...

But a car is only as old as you make it.

 

youll need prelude rotors.

Noob guide says:Rotors are from 94-97 accord. Dual piston calipers can be fit into car. Parts needed are Calipers from a Legend. Rotors are from a prelude. For the Legend Calipers, Type II equipped including the GS sedan or LS coupe, 93-95. are the only kind with dual piston so you will need to locate these types. 2.2/2.3 needs the caliper brackets from 3.0CL, Legend, or 94-96 vtec prelude. Adding this will give you larger rotors and dual piston calipers for greater stopping power.

NOTE: the 97 front rotors are a hub-over-rotor design which means that you'll need to get them pressed on and off with a machine. Most places charge $200+ for this kind of job. Just FYI.
