5th gen Rotor over hub & legend II calipers?
 
I have found in the stickies the rotor over hub swap and the caliper swap with bigger rotors. Is there a way to do the rotor over hub and bigger brakes with the 4 lug on a 96 Accord? I wasn't able to find any write up for it.

Yes sir.

TAS Auto sells a kit. I have it down in the garage. If you give me a few hours I'll get home and dig them up and get the part numbers for ya.

I've wanted to do the rotor over hub for about 10 years, but never really got the chance. But I like bigger brakes, so if I can do both, I'm totally down for that. I'm also doing the 5th gen ex accord rear disc conversion.

A swap to 5 lugs gives you a lot more options. If you don't mind buying new wheels. And depending on how big of a rotor you will use, you might have to buy new wheels anyway.

I don't want to spend the money on wheels, if I had the money for them, I would do it.

Yes get the spindles, calipers, rotors and hubs off a v6 cl.

The rotors from the V6 are bigger? How about the wheel bearings? Are they the same from the V6 and the L4?

The V6 model is still hub over rotor. I want to convert to rotor over hub

Sorry all of the parts that I bought from TAS auto for the 4 bolt ROH, big brake conversion were reman parts with no Honda part numbers. There are a couple 4 lug ROH swap threads on hondasociety.com. they talk about what brackets to use with each rotor and caliper combo. Guess there are a couple different options available. NSX, CL, Accord Wagon and V6. You name it! Wish I could have been more help.

Im sure the same parts used on a 4th gen can be used on a 5th gen.

I did my old cb7 years ago(RIP)


I used 99 Acura CL 2.3 bearings and hubs and 4th gen Prelude VTEC calipers and rotors. Cost me around $500 back in 2005 or so.

The 97 CL is HOR. Same as the Gen 5 V6. The 98-99 CL's are ROH. The CL through 99 is really a Gen 5 Honda. I guess since Accord switched to ROH in 98 with the Gen 6 the CL did as well even though it retained the Gen 5 knuckles.

Thanks ghostaccord. That has helped me as far as what I need for what I want to do. I was surfing HondaSociety and came across the link for an upgrade thread that took me to OEM larger brake/rotor over hub conversion - Honda Forum : Honda and Acura Car Forums . Now I guess my next mission is to try and find out what master cylinder I can get to accommodate for the two extra piston's up front and support the two rear piston's when I convert from drum to disc.

Re: 5th gen Rotor over hub & legend II calipers?
 
Nice link! :beer:

I will be using the ASP Booster delete kit that I purchased from xenocron.com. Comes with the adapter plate and a Wilwood manual brake master cylinder. Also using a 40/40 prop valve out of an 94+ Integra RS (non-ABS). My setup is the big brake upgrade in the front, w/11.2" rotors and the larger 1 piston Nissin calipers. Running stock Accord EX-R disc swap in the rear.
