stock I was doing a bit of a test to see if putting good pads on the rear would alter the brake bias (and I got them for free thanks to ryry ). I will be getting the same for the front once they pads are done.

LOL, Thanks Ricky! I think some retro fogs would make it look even better! Just have to wait until I've got the Accord running perfect.
