Are you implying that Bosch make those pads and rotors for only tuner 05 accords? I've seen them on bosch site and there isn't anywhere on the site that listed them for tuner accords....

I'm saying it's overkill for that car IMHO. If it was bmw, mercedes or the like I would spend the money but I wouldn't put it on accord unless I was driving it really hard.

Safety is what I don't spare on as I travel a whole lot and finding the car vibrating seriously on 160km/hr when I apply brakes is a no no for me..... I'm a daredevil on the road and I ain't gonna ignore or even hold back on ensuring my safety..... Thanks for your opinion anyways but until I buy me a nice E350...... I'm gonna use what I have.

Items that say 6-10 days are going to ship direct from Florida to you. The ones in stock will ship from Lagos to you. Just let me know what you want and delivery address, we'll invoice you, you send payment and you're good to go.

We got rates from GiG logistics for each zone but they neglected to mention which areas the zones represent! Waiting on update.

I do 200km/h on Kaduna to lokoja frequently and constantly whenever I travel in my own car. What I'm saying is that, I can't do those speeds in a car that vibrates visibly at even 160km/h..... I ain't ready to arrange meeting my maker just yet ma'am. The most painful is that I can't chase or leave in the dust those cock benz on those roads cos I know my stopping power ain't good. I'll have to get back to you on what you are offering.

I think you'll still be disappointed with just a brake pad change.

There's more to an effective tingle behind the eyes braking power than the pads. The calipers, booster, and fluids all play an integral part.

If you do the research you might find that the brake system from say an S2000 might be a direct ish fit and will give you tons more braking power.

Or just do the below... grin

Correct. If your going to use premium pads, you would need premium rotors, calipers, etc which is why I said it was overkill. I assumed that's what he had.

I drive at insane speeds, can never give the speed in public.

I have researched this issue, get a synthetic brake fluid or the best glycol based fluid that your money can buy..not one the will easily boil under the equivalent of race conditions...that's one cheap upgrade to ensure your safety...always consult your manual to decide fluid specifications

Use the best of the best such as Motul

Okay. Final recommendation given your situation. Get Gold Ceramic Brakes and Carquest rotors with good brake fluid. You'll be just fine for a couple of years. Then come write testimonial here.

Nigerians are generally not enthusiasts.

Americans are. Americans will pursue increased performance from all levels even if it is ultimately only for bragging rights.

Perhaps due to forced pragmatism, Nigerians are usually more practical.

I understand practical but I also understand doing it in a safe manner.

Don't go chasing BMW (Ultimate Driving Machines) with a Honda Accord without doing deep upgrades.

PS: Not all Americans are enthusiasts. Many Nigerians are enthusiasts.
