Default Legend 2-pot brakes on CRX Sir VTEC??

Is it possible with standard sir nuckles?

I have a 23T caliper bracket lying around here so my cuestion is: does the 2-piston legend caliper fit this bracket?? and do i have to modify much?

/ Andreas

hmm just FYI, nsx calipers have smaller pistons than the 95 GS legend calipers.

i just say this because i thought someone said they were the same, without the embossed "NSX" letters.


the legend pistons are actually bigger.

40/36mm NSX
42/38mm Legend

no you need 28t bracket and 28 mm rotor...i ran into this problem myself...the legend/nsx caliper is wider than a caliper designed for a 23t bracket...you will risk popping the caliper pistons out of the caliper when the pads start to wear if you use a 23 rotor...and no a 28mm rotor does not fit into a 23t bracket

So what are they? They're like 1/2 the weight of a comparable sized Legend caliper.
