Since my brakes are pretty much shot, I decided to go Brembo. I will have the Brembo Sport Slotted for the fronts, and the Brembo Blanks for the rear. Deciding on Pads was hard, after researching for several weeks I decided to go with AEM pads.
Below are some pics.

Sometime next week, I will be having the exhaust redone. Since I am part owner of a performance shop and we have a mandrel pipe bending machine, we are going to make a custom exhaust using Polished Stainless Steel.
We will be fabricating it based on my Greddy EVO except I will be using one 2 1/2" X 18" long stainless steel resonator, instead of the two 12" resonators Greddy opted for.
We will be flanging the pipes just like the Greddy system, so I will able to remove the exhaust and swap the Greddy EVO one back on for the Winter, since it's already rusting on the Intermediate pipe.
I assume everyone is wondering what muffler I will be using, huh?
I decided to use the Universal Tanabe Super Racing Medalion ("Racing Spec") muffler. The Tanabe Super Racing Medalion exhaust is one of the best sounding exhausts I have ever heard, but they don't make it for 98-02 Accord, just the crappy Hyper Spec one, which is too conservative for me.
Below are some pics of what the muffler and the resonator will look like. I will be taking many photos during the building process.
