Need opinions...
 

1991 Honda Accord 4 door ex Auto (wifeys)

car has 87xxx miles on it. clean as a whistle.

questions i have and i would like some opinions and what not..

its time for brake servicing and i figured since she wants to mod her car, anything that needs replacing that can be upgraded should be right? am i wrong?
anyways, i figured on brembos cross drilled or slotted not both.
some high quality pads(ebc,etc)
braided stainless steel lines
the rear is drums so i figured doing the disc brake conversion from a model that has all 4wheels disc.
painting calipers a nice black(gloss i guess)

what else can i do to the brake system that isnt super expensive or meant for a track car. the car is freshly painted, she has wheels that are getting ready to be painted black as well.

the size on the rims are 18x8 i believe, tires 215 35 18.
how low of a drop will be comfy with not to big of a wheel gap and i dont want her to scrape. i will be matching the springs with some nice shocks so you can recommend a matching set. coilovers are not really a consideration since she doesnt need all that adjusability.


i will have many more questions as her project comes along. maybe in the near future we can start mine. :lol:

thanks for the time to read this...honda guru's take the podium......

call it a day....unless you see yourself doing lots of highspeed rapid braking youre wasting your money.

you really think so? i would have thought just upgraded to something slightly high performance but not something meant to stop a high HP beast would at least improve feel and decrease stopping distance, i guess you can say i wanna upgrade em for safety and the HOLY SHIT factor you know.

anyone else think so? :(

Hate to tell you man, but those dont really go hand-in-hand. With that low of a profile tire its going to be really hard to get a nice ride. Now you might be able to get a decent ride out of it w/ the right suspension but its still going to be a little rough.

yeah i noticed when i had them on my lude, what do you recommend? 215 40? or 45?

haha. good answer.

sorry for the expensive answer. I thought you were looking for more of a 'high performance' brake system.

goodluck with whatever you choose:)

NO NO NO, what you put down is exactly the kind of set-up i thought you would be adequate. i mean that set up doesnt compare to a big brake kit. what you posted was right along the lines of the setup i had in mind. just different companies. i dont feel that setup being expensive, especially for the piece of mind you get from a better braking system? true?
