Yeah that's true, its nice to soften the ride for DD use though.

It's gonna be quite awhile before I can do the rear disc conversion considering I've got a goal to get a 5spd in my car by Christmas, so we'll see.

What pads and rotors are you going with?

I've just got whatever TASauto sent me for now, but eventually I plan on doing a brembo or powerslot rotor with hawk pads.

What kind of calipers are they?

Prelude VTEC/Accord V6 calipers. They're single piston still like stock, but they're quite a bit larger.

cool...so just from upgrading the caliper itself, you feel you got more stopping power?

Any modification to make them fit? Also you now have to buy different pads for the car too?

Well I did the ROH conversion, and upgraded to larger brakes, so the rotors are bigger as well. They're 11.2" diameter vs the stock 10.1"
But yeah, I definately have more stopping power, and rotors will be waaaaay easier to change out now.

I had to do the ROH conversion for this to work, so basically I had to get the old bearings and hubs out of the knuckles, and then used new Acura CL hubs with accord bearings pressed in. After that, it was just a bolt-on job.

Yeah, I now have to buy prelude vtec rotors and pads for the front now.

Are you thinking about doing the conversion? I can answer any other questions you might have if so.

Some no-name steel header with DEI heat wrap...its alot better than my shitty a1 manifold though.

lol, check my MR thread (click my sig), big things are going down right now

[mndude07]

Once I get it installed, I'll do a write up of how different the car feels across the powerband, and then I'll remove my IAB plate and see what difference that makes as well.

So I was looking into some spring rates for my friend's RX8 today and got curious about my own, so I called Neuspeed.

Neuspeed race springs are 485 lb/in front, 300 lb/in rear.

I love my ROH conversion...one of the best mods I've done so far.
