......i like the way this one dances
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

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.
Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

Ebay sucks my hairy left nut.
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.
