    Larger rear brake upgrade

    http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/pts/3634882347.html
    i was looking on craigslist and came across this link. i wanted to know if anyone have gone this direction. currently i have itr rear rotor with prelude 5 lug hub with 95 accord calipers. i have wanted to increase the rear rotor size and stoping power. so does anyone have any idea if these rear rsx-s calipers will fit on my 5 lug set up.

    you know, the wagon accords come with larger rear calipers. and it will bolt up with no problems...

        I did the front upgrade already. currently i have tsx calipers and 2004 accord coupe v6 rotor with the 40/40 install. now the car dive forward when i brake. so im hoping with a larger rear brake set up it will even out the vehicle.

              The brake dive is associated with spring and dampner setting. You can greatly benefit from firmer struts and springs.

                update coil over suspension

                Do any one have any pictures of the larger rear calipers.

                well i addressed the suspension, which improve the diving effect. now onto another question. what spring rate is best for daily driving in city area with bumps and pot holes. i have d2 on the soft setting and it is still a hard ride. i have changed the spring rate to 7k in the front from 8k and 6 in the rear. people with ff2 what spring rate are you using.
