not a bad purchase, but you shoulda gone with the brembo blanks. they'll hold up longer and brake better then the drilled/slotted ones will

sounds about right

i got:

technafit SS braided lines (85 shipped) * ordered from technafit
EBC sport drilled (slotted and dimpled) rotors ($55 + s/h)
akebono cermic "performance" pads ($55 + s/h)
lameo shoes ($20? + s/h)
ATE super blue racing fluid ($15) * local shop
speedbleeders on front ($10) * local shop

it really makes a difference. my brakes feel great now. :)

ps: ordered all the rotors, pads, and shoes on www.tirerack.com

did you replace the fluid lines? thats something i think is pretty important when going all out on brakes. i did mine along with new calipers, pads, and rotors. brakes are the most important part of a car to have in tip top condition, IMO. i'd leave my car sitting until i could get to the brakes if they are bad again. thats what i did last time. my lines were leaking as well as the piston on the caliper.

called their number on the phone and told them my car specs, and gave them my credit card number, and got charged $85.00 ;-) those prices are MSRP, and i guess they dont charge MSRP, that or they thought i was reallly realllllly cool, and shouldnt pay full price...

it probably was long time ago when they didn't give a shit about the accord and thought hey, lets get rid of them now.



I paid 100 shipped for my SEi ones.
Some random brake fluid ($10)
rear disc brakes ($180)
OEM brake pads ($50 each axle)


I need rotors though. I might go with EBC or Brembo blanks. Don't know yet.
