Red,

While I’ve already decided that I’m NOT getting the S-Charger, I sure would like to hear some more of your opinions on the brake kit.

No good….

How about some pictures RIGHT NOW !!!!

The first “mod” everyone should do for their car is a digital camera.

Shawn, it's still a little early to comment. I talked to Loren at Rotora this morning and he told me that the pad and rotor needs 300-500 miles to bond i guess, and then i'll really feel the difference. They look great and feel better already, so i can't wait to get those break in miles over with. We will be doing a twisty run on Saturday, so that's when i'll really get a feel for improvement. I'll let you know after the run. The research i did says this is one hell of a deal. We'd all like Brembos but the price is more than i wanted to spend.

Hey Red Rider!

Did you use the Rotora Big Brake kit listed for the Accord V-6, cause thats the only one that they show on their web site?

Also, how much did it cost, was it the $1,395 "special" listed?

Would much appreciate your info.

Thanks

Yeah, it's the same deal. I got it for $1349 and i didn't need the SS lines so he deducted that from the package. I did upgrade to ceramic pads so it was a wash. They look great and feel good, the break in should be done this week and i'll be ready for the twisties on Saturday

Thanks Bro, i'm scheduled for some track time on Wednesday night. I've never done a quarter before so i hope i don't mess up too much

This car is definitely quicker with the SC, especially from 70-110, so i hope i do it justice.

It fiiiiiiiiinally shipped yesterday.

I am installing it myself and am still waiting for the Stone headers.

I'm hoping by the time I've installed all the misc. stuff besides the blower itself, the headers will be on the way.
