Then i was thinking of going cross drilled and slotted all the way around not for the performance but because i have giovanna mito 18s and the spokes are tiny and you can see everything behind the rim so with the cross drilled and slotted rotors it would clean everything up nicely without paying the big bucks for like an aem big brake upgrade. Let me know what you guys think and know on the conversion, thanks, Dave
Well dave it sounds like you are going for loks and not really performance.
Here is my take on the 4th gen accord rear disc swap.
1. You can take the whole assembly from a ex/se rear disc, and slap them on.
2. I would get a new proportioner valve to change the brake pressure from 35/35 to 40/40 The proportioner valve you can get from a 90-93 integra gsr.
3. I would upgrade from rubber hoses to steel braided lines.
4. Instead of crossdrilled rotors I would get Dimple drilled and slotted (from
www.Raceconcepts.net)
5. while you are swapping out the brakes might as well install a ST rear sway bar on there too!
