Finally: New Wheels and Brakes Installed
Finally after the horrible weather we have had I was able to install my new 18" wheels and my new rotors. I was also able to polish and seal the Comptech exhaust while it was on the lift. The calipers and mounting brackets also got a fresh couple of coats of Krylon gas grille paint I can finally say - I'm ready for Summer.
* I included a picture of how the car looked last year with the 17" TSX wheels so you all can see the new look compaired to the old.

There is nothing to special about them. I have cross drilled and slotted rotors with OEM pads and calipers. I am however a detail fanatic. The brake calipers and hardware are painted with 3 coats of Kylon gas grille paint. I like that paint because its not flat or glossy and its very high temp. The reason why I use factory pads is two part. One I get them cheap because I work for Honda and two they are quiet as a mouse with no dust. Personally I don't belive in painting calipers any color other then black. I wish I could swing the expense for multi piston high end brakes but it won't be this year. Comptech's unexpected closing wiped me out. I spent alont more then I expected. Thanks for the kind words.
* I forgot - I have Comptech stainless brake hoses as well.

Im not sure. A customer bought them for me for Xmas. He has the same ones on his S2000. Knowing him they were not cheap. They mounted perfect and stop stright with zero vibration. Sorry I could not help. I will try to get the answer and PM you.

I get him alot of Honda and non-Honda stuff for his CR-V, S2000 and Si Sedan. He bought me rotors, is taking me to Mid-Ohio to watch the new Acura run and to see the sold out Police show in Cleveland. He and his wife are very good to my wife and I - we're lucky to say the least.
