stereo! I don't know what it would entail but, are you saying that it is possible to replace a knuckle assembly and then easily replace rotors? In doing this, does that mean I will have 5 lugs and need new wheels too?

the knuckle is the whole thing where the rotor ,caliper bolts to . and replaceing it with the 98-99 CL V6 it's a screw on rotor instead of the press on type and is 4 lug.

I believe nick from the E-H thread used prelude 4lug rotors, and the V6 accord calipers. he actually races his accord and said that is made a very noticable difference. considering its all OEM, it was fairly cheap and well worth the effort from a racing stand point and DD stand point. He throws on the EBC yellow stuff for racing, and switches to OEM pads for DD and he is very happy with the braking.

skabone, Nick said he has a 2000 accord and his way doesn't apply. He doesn't believe I can change out the knuckle because of the whole hub over deal. I think I need to go to the dealership and see how much the cl knuckle is and look at a diagram.
stereo: would I need to buy the cl knuckle, rotor and caliper? I would then also use cl pads too? Anything else I need to change?
Everyone: Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it and have nobody around here that knows a thing about the mechanics of cars. They just race.

I went 5 lug, but could have just done the 4 lug instead both rotor over hub. from what I know the 98-99 CL V6 knuckle is needed for the caliper to clear the rotor basically the whole knuckle ,rotor,caliper,pads. if you didn't care if you had the hub over rotor (expensive rotor replacements) the 97 CL V6 or the 95-96 accord wgn or V6 will work. I would go with wrecking yard parts as new from honda is a very expensive! this will work on 90-97 accords.
