I'm sure someone else has mentioned it, but you can always get repair bleeders. It's usually a brass tapered insert with NPT threads that has a smaller bleeder in it so it goes back to functioning like a normal bleeder. Bonus is that they don't usually rust solid again because of the brass.

@ivtec4fun55 Месяц назад

Just because their small doesn't mean their ugly haha Edit: so I used to put brakes on Hondas for a living, normally a squeak is because you need to lubricant the touch points where the pins go through the holes in the pads and/or where the pad edges touch the caliper. It's just a small vibration that the grey brake lubricant helps cushion. Good Luck, car looks sweet! (also the carbon and upgraded brake pads can be noisy, that's normal) You might try some drilled and slotted rotors, should help the heat for sure.

@@_Gingium_ Usually what you've done takes care of it, those are super nice calipers too and those types usually don't make noise. I'm really a fan of OEM pads, they have a good feel for the street, nice, soft, and sticky right off the rip. I've had ceramic pads from the parts store and in cold wet weather they don't grab for 1-2 seconds which is scary. Maybe drilled slotted rotors would help that so there is more clamping force and less surface area persay. I bet you'd really like some stock pads, or at least give them a shot for the heck of it so you can feel the difference. They will heat soak sooner, but for most people are on the streets you are already pushing your luck with getting pulled over or something if you're smashing around for minutes upon minutes on end LOL

@joemother1098 29 дней назад

Big brakes are useless on a daily, they do nothing to stop the car faster. Cars are limited by ABS to stop as fast as possible from factory. Bigger tires will allow you to stop faster as they allow for more friction between the road.

@joecosta3416 29 дней назад

Yeah bigger brakes are usually more rotating mass and unsprung weight, which can end up being slightly worse for overall braking with the other variables the same. Tire compound is probably the biggest factor. The biggest benefit to big brakes is usually the reduction in brake fade, along with feel and consistency. If you're using them a ton, they'll generally last a lot longer before getting too hot themselves or boiling the fluid.

@iLupi Месяц назад

Love the way the J series sounds on these with a great exhaust setup. Seeing how simple it is, i'm tempted to go the Acura Caliper route on my 8th gen if i end up needing new rotors.That and probably going to get the upgraded rear sway bar to go along with the BC Racing Coilovers. The bigger brakes and calipers are definitely a nice look and oem+ in style; that little pop of "Acura" in silver is a nice touch and the red accents pair well with your wheels and badges. The V6 Manual Accords are so much fun!

@Max_Da_G 18 дней назад

I did a brake upgrade using different cars calipers twice now. With both I simply cut my losses and took them straight to a brake shop to have them fully overhauled. That way you know you get 100% functional units that'll work well and won't leak. Bigger rotors have more metal on them and they can store more heat units meaning the rotors will heat up slower than smaller thinner factory ones. They are THE heat sinks (braking converts kinetic energy into heat energy) and they don't really hand over the heat through pads to calipers and wheels until reaching the limit of heat soak. Hence the heat difference between factory rotors and aftermarket ones. Also aftermarket ones likely have better cooling design, which improved the heat dissipation.

@wafflemakeracp7000 26 дней назад

It's possible the stock brakes were glazed so they don't look as hot because they've already been overheated and it's basically like rubbing two smooth pieces of iron together. With the ceramic pads and rotors the surface is fresh and more abrasive so it's like rubbing two pieces of sandpaper together instead, and since they are new they haven't been subject to any heat at all so they're still doing their thing to get used to the heat.

If you want a slightly upgraded rear brake disc that may fit with maybe no modification, the 4th gen altima coupe has a slightly larger rear brake diameter, by like an inch or so but are like 10mm wider, so on paper they'd definitely could help brakes just that much more without being too big, and also probably still allowing use of factory parking brake without any modification.

The Fat Four Customs bracket is much better. Allows you to fit the 324mm rotors from the track package 350Z which are supposed to be the rotora you use for RL swapping Accords. I was previously using the Fastbrakes adapter and 320mm Maxima rotors since the Z rotors won't fit with the fastbrakes adapter. With the smaller rotor the pad doesn't seat all the way on the rotor. There was a bit pad hanging off. You really need the 324mm to ensure full pad to rotor contact.
