Hey has anyone upgraded their 2015 accord's breaks? I am curious as to how big of rotors i can go?? I would love to hear from people, i go through breaks to often so i want to upgrade to a better rotor/pad. It is a touring so it has the 18" rim's and i would be doing both front and rear. I am not opposed to changing the calipers either as a bigger rotor would need that. Any info helps. Thanks guys.

 

So, what kind of a break are you talking about, breakfast, a cigarette break, a lunch break? Oh, you mean a BRAKE upgrade.

Fact, all else being equal, bigger brakes will not improve your stopping distance; if you want to improve your braking, buy wider tires with a stickier tread compound.

 

Ok smart *** auto correct lesson....
I'm not looking for better braking power or distance. I want better lasting brakes, that don't seize up or require constant care. My pilot's brakes last longer and it's heavier. They don't go through pads like the accord.

 

Sorry, like I wrote earlier, unless you make other changes, bigger brakes will not yield the results you're looking for.

 

Ok, but i don't need better stopping distance or power, i want brakes that don't wear so fast and/or calipers that don't seize

 

And what on earth make you think a big brake kit will not suffer from the same issues?

 

No idea. Thinking bigger takes longer to wear down?!?!?!

 

Often times, yes.

 

How often are you going through brakes? What is seizing on your calipers, the piston, the slide pins, or the pad getting wedged into the caliper? Do you live in an area where they salt the roads?

 

Yes i live in a wide temperature climate. +35 to -25 average. Yes they salt and sand the roads. Pins have seized. The pads get wedged and i have a piston seizing ( it still moves but barely
