I love how you termed the Accord V-6 6-speed the Accord 6x6. :chuckles:

I really don't think it's worth the stretch either, at least for the cars you mentioned. You may get a bit better dealer support (such as car washes after oil changes, etc.) and you'll get the flying propellor logo.

It'll be a little bit before the 7th generation Accord has a plethora of performance options, but it shouldn't be too long. Perhaps a good place to start would be to upgrade your brakepads and tires, and then lower the car when springs are made available. Then, if braking still is not on par, Brembo will likely come out with a kit for it.
