Yeah you should. Stop posting pics after a taxi hits it.

So I'm Purchasing EBC red stuff pads this week to give those a try. I've had yellow stuff pads for the last year or so. They've been okay. Honestly, I think the braking system on our accords is really shitty. You can change the rotors and the pads but it's really not going to get you anywhere. I plan on upgrading the front calipers some time next year.
Also, my stock shocks are pretty much wasted after suffering new York city potholes for 50,000 miles. It's time for me to send my Teins back to get rebuilt. So they'll be going on the car sometime next month.
By mid-winter I want to have an upgraded exhaust system. So if anybody knows of a good exhaust shop in NYC, please let me know.
Also, the closer I get to 100,000 miles (at 65,000 now) the closer that engine gets to being rebuilt by Paul. I'm thinking in about 2 years time.

You have no engine performance mods and you drive a manual....not sure why your stock brakes aren't sufficient? As for your other plans GL we may be hitting up Paul around the same time.

Ariel, sometimes I feel like giving you a beat down.
Rich, I've driven other cars (rentals, i.e. Chevy Traverse, Nissan Altima, a Chrysler minivan and ford f-150) over the past year, and all of them had brakes that had a shit load better grip than my stock ones. It's been like that since day one. Even with downshifting it feels weak. I just feel like the single piston calipers and the size of the rotors are undersized for a sedan accord. It's a heavy freaking car.
