Note : I do not own one yet, but I like to research and plan beforehand, so bear with me fellas.
Accord Euro R CL7R is quite a heavy sports saloon, no? If I'm not mistaken, the weight of the car is close to 1.4 tonnes [ that is almost 400kgs heavier than my B18CR'ed EG hatch ].
I have also read around, and Bien have already pointed to me that the stock 300mm discs are pretty prone to disc juddering due to disc warp, which seems to be a common problem to a lot of car manufacturers nowadays. Why does this happen? I presume that this is due to the quality of metal and the material mix that they use nowadays.
Unlike specialist braking companies, EBC, Project Mu to say a few, which produces really quality braking parts, but at a certain cost though.
I have used EBC Yellow Stuff pads with my current ride, combined with my stock - but - grooved discs, Mugen stainless steel brake hoses and Motul RBF 600, my car can stop from 180kph to 80 kph in an extremely short distance without locking the wheels. Bear in mind that the chassis in question's weight is only around 1 tonne.
Now, if my dream ride becomes a reality, I would love to save up to upgrade the braking [ I come from racetrack background, thanks to my dad who introduced to me Eddie Lawson, Wayne Gardner, Senna etc when I was 10 ] capabilities.
Right now, in my mind, I'm thinking about Project Mu, specifically, the Level Max 700 and Level Max 900i pads. Will they work with the Brembo blank discs or should I save up more to go for a full upgrade instead : Level Max 700/900i pads + SCR Pro Plus 6 + Teflon Brake Line.
I've tried Googling about the temperature rating of the Brembo blank discs, but I found none. :(
Tell me your brake upgrades and let's discuss!
