Brake Setup for 99 Accord???? - 2/17/2007 8:12:59 PM    j_man_honda Posts: 1194 Joined: 1/8/2007 From: South Carolina Status: offline Anybody know of a good brake setup for my 99 accord ex. I would like a big brake kit, but I don't want to spend over 600 dollars. Any suggestions? _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" Post #: 1

Your best bet with that cash is to get a larger diameter rotor (drilled and slotted your choice, good looking though) and put on a set of nice brake pads such as metal matrix or those green pads.  Make sure if you go for a larger diameter rotor is still fits in your wheel with room for the caliper.  The good part about this upgrade is that you can always get the calipers later, but unless you are truly racing this car at 9/10ths or 10/10ths you will never need better than the upgraded rotors and pads.  (in reply to j_man_honda) Post #: 2

Brembo rotors, hawk HP pads and some braided steel brake lines will improve matters drastically _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!
