The ludes my weekend car, so the action it sees is basically only ever; The Cat n Fiddle, Snakes Pass, a few Welsh country roads a my annual trip to the 'ring/Europe.

Ever since owning the car I've noticed how crap the brakes are, my Accord can out-brake the Prelude with ease. Can anyone recommend some decent pads and discs I can fit - Im also lookign to replace the fluid as I think its been boiled a few times since Stevlio Pass.

Are Black Diamond, or EBC going to perform better than OEM discs? Or does it make more sense just to upgrade the pads? Any recommendations?

Oh, anyone with a Prelude have the same experience of poor brakes?

Thanks!!!!
 
Thanks saitrix

Its the 2.2 Motegi Version so 197bhp.

Discs are a must at the moment as I warped one around the 'ring in August. So at the moment I've got dreadful fading (probably due to glazed pads) warped discs when they heat up (due to the 'ring) and no doubt boiled fluid (from Stevlio Pass)

Hearing bad things about Black Diamond discs now.
