I have an opportunity to buy NSX front brake calipers and was wondering what is involved in installing them on front of 2001 ITR. I plan on using my stock 15 inch wheels as well as my Kosei K-1 15 inch x7 inch with 45 mm backset track wheels with this set up.

 

make sure they are from the right year or your 15s wont fit.

 

i'm not sure if the calipers bolt right up to the ITR. i believe you'll have to get brackets made for them. someone correct me if i'm wrong...

 

correction. you are wrong. They bolt up. depending on the year however you may have to shave the mounting surface a tiny bit to center them properly on the rotor....and as steve pointed out you may have trouble fitting them under your 15"s

You need the front rotors from a Legend GS (aka Type 2 Legend).

It works fine. Bolts up.

 

lol...thanks for the correction. you learn something new every day.

 

anytime lol

yeah but the nsx ones are much prettier with cooling fins and nsx logo... haahhaa.

He's talking about the rotors and you're talking about the calipers.

 

nsx zanardi edition calipers bolt onto the stock itr front spindles w/ stock rotors. they fit under 15" kosei's, although i never tried a stock itr wheels on it. this is on yasu, from Racing Craft's itr.

 

another note worth mentioning is that the Legend GS calipers are the same size as NSX.. they don't have the cool NSX logo.. but they are cheaper.

 

.....are they both dual piston as well? (I thought I used to know this...)

 

The calipers on the Zanardi are the same as the ones on all the other '97+ NSX's.

I thought the Legend calipers are single piston, unlike the NSX...? Anyone know for sure?
