Brake upgrade
I found info on www.civic1200.com that second gen civics were using brakes from 85 Accords as a nice upgrade. The civics are very similar to the prelude so I gave it a try since the stock brakes are really weak and fade. It fits perfectly with no mods. These are from a 1984/1985 Honda Accord.
Wider pads, bigger piston, thicker rotor and the rotor is also ventilated. Great upgrade for about $100.
