Better options for what? You can make NSX calipers fit on a 5 lug setup from an ITR or CTR. You can also transplant Integra or Civic SI (99-00) 4 wheel disks onto your car (if the VTEC doesn't already have the rear disks).

nsx calipers hum cant find find them in my closet. i think there are like 5 honda nsx's in holland so i dont think thats a good idea.
yeah i got 4 discs stock. and since the legend had got the biggest rotors and twin piston calippers i will go with these. btw there are only 50 itr in holland and i thought there rotors arent much bigger. i think i just have to make something that keep the calippers in the right place.
thanks

lets start with the basics, just get GSR front brakes since the rears are all the same, once you have a GSR knuckle which is bigger than what you have right now then you can bolt up legend rotors but you will need the GS one for the 2 piston otherwise find any 98+ accord calipers or preluve vtec ones and u shim them down a bit to clear the rotors and just get prelude rotors redrilled to 4x100.

just search under my buddy's SN he did a how to on this brake conversion (DAN GSR)

ahhh the power of search newb!

Why not go with the 5-Lug conversion from a Type-R or even the 4x114 conversion from the older jdm Type-r. Less headache and the calipers and rotors are big. NSX calipers would even bolt right up to those set ups.

i'd be all over a big brake upgrade if i felt the need, but seeing as how the brembo rotors and axxis mm pads easily lock up any tire i have run i don't see the point. i have an si, that stated you have better brakes than I.

have you tried a good OEM spec replacement setup?

It has been done before.... I've seen a write-up on here before, you just have to search for it.

I guess YOU weren't listening when chameleon told you that your stock del sol knuckles won't take the legend calipers... you have to get the larger knuckles from the GSR for the calipers to bolt on to, and if you don't have the GSR in Holland, buy them online from the US and have them shipped.

im aware it isnt going to be a direct bolt-on maybe its a bolt on to gsr but i dont think the bigger rotors would fit! and i cant find anything with the search option
