minivan,

only difference between the accord and prelude of the same year is the diameter of the discs. According to the DBA website the accord brakes are slightly bigger. All other measurements are the same. Go to the DBA website. Very helpfull.

BTW - I did not know there was such a thing as a two door accord?

Just a quick q... might of been answered already (no doubt it has been looking at the amount of replies!)

These fit under standard rims. I'm talking the little skinny ones that I have on my van.

Only if you fit 40mm spacers with 'em, if they are 10"....!! :lol:
ie. they will stick out 15mm more than on spacered drums or S discs.
So, I guess no... not really.

Get thee some `Mini offset' Contessa 10x5s or similar.. :wink:

Ah well i've been dreaming about what I wanna do to the van.

Wanna keep it stock outside, so standard rims and hub caps, but wanna have a 1275, so needs discs.

Maybe I get some Cooper S discs and put Cooper S steelies on

It's only a dream without the $$$$

they will fit straight on, as long as u are running 12in rims ( which im guessing u are on ya van ) expect to pay about $600 and also expect to rebuild the setup so budget for a rebuild aswell

Well now that I have seen Doc's BRG "S" with flares and honda discs, I am just not sure anymore about keeping my car flareless...

If I do go regular contessas, Honda brakes and flares it would have to be S flares and done like the Doc's S which has a welded lip on all 4 wheel arcs. It's a "no return" mod i think (ie. once I have welded it, there is no going back to no flares).

Hey anyone want to buy 2 sets of LS contessas? :wink:
