    aem brake pads

    Man i have to say, after changing the pads i noticed after driving like 40-50 miles tonight that the AEM brake pads are WAY better than stock pads... Now all i have to do is flush/change my brake fluid... what do you guys reccomend, synthetic fluid? Brake upgrade on heavily modded cars (ie turbo accords) is more of a crisis managemant tool rather than just another mod...

    you can run any type of fluid in your braking system. You just have to flush the old fluid out first. You can run anything from water to motor oil - tranny fluid. (not recommended). But yeah, you can use dot 3, 4, 5 whatever you please.

    I might go with those come spring... I have the Axxis pads, and the braking is pretty good, but i notice a lot of brake fade after hard driving, and they put out sooooo much brake dust.

    rear pads are the same as 1st gen integra rear pads as well as 3rd gen lude ones too. I'm not sure on 1st gen legend rear pads but I remmeber seeing it as the same too.

    For sure 1st gen rear disc brakes are swappable.

    I've got Axxis pads for the front. I haven't put them on yet tho. They're for LX-i front brakes so I have to wait until I do my brake swap, which I'm so anxious to do.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
