del sol brake upgrade needsome help
so i found some 91 legend front brake calipers with te 23t bracket.
in order to fit on the integra knuckle it has to be shaved off
will they fit on a 93 del sol S knuckle?
and as i understand for an 11" rotor upgrade i have to make a bracket and can use the same 91 legend calipers as well?

Re: del sol brake upgrade needsome help
the 91 legend front brake calipers (stamped 17CL15VN) are identical to the ITR front brake calipers.
the 23T bracket will need to be sent to machine shop & milled 2-3mm (or 1/8")

99-00 civic Si
on your 93 del sol S, your front brake system uses a 9.4" front rotor; this is known as the DX knuckle
with the milled 23T bracket/ITR 17CL15VN caliper, the maximum size rotor it'll accept is the 10.3".

the 11" rotors can be sourced from
a. prelude VTEC rotor re-drilled to 4X100
b. www.fastbrakes.com 11' rotors in 4X100
on 11" rotors, the pads no longer need to be shaved

the machined brackets will also interchange with NSX & 94-95 legend GS 2-pot front calipers

Re: del sol brake upgrade needsome help
i managed to get some integra knuckles and forks.
i also have the legend calipers with 23t brackets and 95 del sol vtec rear disk brake that im gona put on my del sol(sometime soon hopefully)
i looked at the knuckles and it seems the type r and other integras share same knuckle.
if i was to buy a 5 lug hub and press it on do i still need to machine the 23t bracket or is it identical to ITR and will bolt on properly with an ITR knuckle/pads and rotor?
