Yes Rich do the AEM pads, I have the MM and they do dust like a mofo and also I will bet that if you get the MM with a blank style rotor that is will eat up the rotor quick since it was made to be matched with slotted or drilled rotors.

And yes the conversion will happen asap

How about these

94-97 2/4dr 4cyl TENZO FRONT BRAKE ROTOR KIT (BLUE)
Upgrade those stock brakes with a set of these 12 inch Tenzo units. With an average 20-percent larger surface area, these brakes can reduce a vehicle's stopping distance while reducing pedal effort. Each rotor is slotted and cross-drilled to ensure maximum heat dissipation for reliable, consistent braking. CNC-machined billet aluminum rotor hats diminishes the rotor's tendency to cup under extreme prolonged use and reduces the overall weight of the rotor when compared to cast versions. Each kit includes two 12" rotors, caliper repositioning brackets, premium grade aircraft-quality hardware and instructions. 16" or larger wheels required. $350

those are crap, everyone who has em hates them, tehy are more for show then to stop the car. Also that just a bigger rotor, which is kindof worhtless (sure it cools down a bit faster) but worthless because u still have the same size pad applying pressure.

How about some StopTech in your life then. They don't make it for the accords though. Guess I would have to get a 5 lug conversion first
