Another thing you may want to look into (since its fairly cheap) is to put on the NSX rotors and calipers. I know that the calipers do fit the front of the V6 Accords as a direct bolt on swap (I have 3 friends with it 2 wagons and one AV6) and I have heard talk that the rotors also bolt onto the cars as well.
This may be rumor but it will be a rather nice and affordable upgrade to your front brake system.....when this is done just remember to use a higher grade brake fluid as well.

edit: sorry i thougt about the "autobahn" but i think u just meant highway
Yepp, the NSX will fit, but will be much more expensive because they come from the NSX. Also i believe that the NSX are actaully 3 centimeters smaller then the wagon and v6 i think, or might be smaller then the legend, i think the legend and the v6 are 28 centimeters or maybe melimeters i forget, and the NSX are 25. It would be badass to have thesse but who knows.

ok, well what would be a good OEM type of brake upgrade for my 6th gen I4, besides the 6th gen AV6?

Without doing the v6? nothing really, besides getting some drilled or slotted rotors. I would recommend brembo drilled from brembo though, not brembo blanks and drilled by some other company. I was reading an article where it said something about teh brembo drilled rotors from them are a tiny bit thicker to strengthen the rotor. This might explain why i had to grind down some of the braket for the calipers because it was rubbin on the rotor. But no one else has had this problem, or minor set back i mean, but then again no one else i know has used brembo drilled.
Do you have s/s line? i recommend those if ur lookin to do some upgrades besides the v6.
