Re: (F23Coupe)

i am not sure how thick the 6th gen 4cy rotors are, but the 5g 10" ones are 22mm, so they have 22T brackets.

but if you have 23mm 10" rotors, then ur 23T brackets will not fit over the 11" rotors.

and i am really not sure if an 11" caliper will bolt up wiht a 10" bracket, i've never tried that before. it kinda defeats the purpose of the whole brake swap when the inscreased rotor size is what's making the better stopping power.

I brought the 25t and 23t caliper set home and will measure them for differences this weekend. Just from eyeballing them, the pads are the same thickness and length. I really don't understand why the rebuilder is sending out 25t brackets for a 23mm application. I thought the first set might have been a mistake, but after going through 4 sets, I think they just ignore the 2mm difference. Thanks for the help, kyle</TD></TR></TABLE>

With more information you get better responses. I have done the ROH swap and i went through all this drama some years back. The parts vendors assured me that all the brackets were the same and kept giving me 25t brackets. But I knew diffrently and kept ******* them until I got what i wanted. Yes you can us 25t brackets with your Lude rotors but its not the optimal set up. 2mm is a mile in the brake world especially when many disc brake systems are low drag design. Use them if you must but try to get the correct brackets for your set up...The best bet is ITR or VTEC lude calipers and rotors. Shy away from the legend swap. In order to set up the calipers to work you have to install them incorrectly which defeats the purpose of the swap,many here do not understand this. The pistons are not the same size and are meant to be set up right side up..
