Stock Brakes Problem
so it was football night and i was rushing to a place to watch football..not too fast though..anyway
as i arrived i felt that the car stopped a bit too rough,
i tried to take off to check if everything is ok, then i would come to a standstill as i was pressing the brakes
one more time, the same thing..
i turned it off, watched the football and then after 2 hours the problem was gone..!
But my question is, WHY? and what??
is it that my stock brakes need service or something?
my best guess is that one of the pistons in the caliber got stuck..
but again why? in the racetrack i push it 10 times more..how can a 10min drive harm them..i didnt push them that hard..
should i go check it out? or is it nothing?
has anyone experienced anything like this?

check both side if the calipers if they are burning hot when that happens again. you might of mistaken some power steering fluid for brake fluid. that happened to me on my truck. Flush it and put in new fluid.

One of my calipers sticks every now and then after the car sits for a while. I also track my car and they brakes are fine there.
When I sense it sticking, I usually give the brakes a few hard pulses and it frees up.

The brackets are a direct mount but you must switch the Accord left side to be used on the S2000 right side to keep the bleeder valve on the top of the caliper. You get 30% more brake surface and more ability to modulate braking for trail braking.
I'm very happy with this conversion. They will fit OEM and any other wheel.
very nice modification/upgrade...
will have it in mind..
a bit difficult to find that kind of accord in my country though.. ( v6 )
thanks for your input
