Default Doing The Brakes... Rotors and Pads..

Alright... I'm planning on getting these Rotors and Pads....
EBC Greenstuff 2000 Series Passenger Car Organic Brake Pads

EBC Sport Rotors

Alright ... It says I can fit them with the stock calipers... but I saw that there is a whole Inch difference in diameter in the other set they have,

Now will I have to adjust the calipers or something to fit the bigger rotors?

With an inch difference you may not be able to bolt the calpier to the knuckle properly due to clearence issues

I must be missing something. You can't have any difference in diameter & expect it to work. One or the other may be talking about a different model, different year, or maybe it's just a typo.

Maybe the 4th-gen Accord takes the smaller ones & the 5th-gentakes the bigger ones?

Have you called Summit & talked with a human about that?

I bet that pretty gold coating doesn't last long.

Yea... well I talked to the guys at Summit and they said that the bigger ones were for different years of the 4th generation and same with the pads that match them for $80.... and I'm not looking for the gold on there.. I'm looking for rotors that are going to reduce my brake fade and stop better than Wearever rotors.... lol
