Track-Ready Performance: Prepping Your 1.5T Honda Accord for the Streets, Highways & Tale Of The Dragon

Want to take your 1.5T Honda Accord beyond the street and onto the track? It’s totally doable with the right upgrades and preparation. Here’s how to get your Accord track-ready:
Upgrade Your Brakes
Track driving demands serious stopping power and that’s exactly what this setup delivers. Featuring six-piston calipers, massive 380mm rotors, stainless steel braided brake lines, and Brembo high-performance braking components, this system is built to perform under extreme conditions. The result? Sharper pedal response, reduced brake fade, and unmatched stopping confidence when it matters most.
Performance Suspension
Switch to adjustable coilovers or performance shocks and springs to dial in your suspension for the track. This upgrade enhances cornering grip, improves handling precision, and significantly reduces body roll at high speeds.
On my website, you’ll find a complete performance suspension kit—including components like front and rear sway bars, camber kits, and brace kits—all designed to transform your driving experience. Please note: BC coilovers are not included.
Tire Choice
A set of high-performance summer tires is a must for track days. They provide superior grip, helping you push harder through corners and braking zones.
Engine Tuning
An ECU tune optimized for performance can unlock extra horsepower and torque, essential for faster lap times. Combined with an upgraded intake and exhaust, your Accord will breathe better and deliver more power.
Weight Reduction
Remove unnecessary interior items to reduce weight. Even small changes like swapping out heavy floor mats or using lighter seats can improve acceleration and handling.
Preparing your 1.5T Accord for the track is all about combining reliability with performance. Start with these key upgrades and you’ll be ready to hit the circuit with confidence and style.
