Default 11" front brake upgrade question (searched)

I ordered in my new calipers for my brake upgrade from O'Reillys the other day and when I went into pick them up today I was dissapointed to find that I had single piston calipers and not dual pistons calipers. I had ordered them for a 98 accord, I was under the impression that these would be dual caliper but I guess I was wrong. Can someone tell me exactly what year and what model I need to order calipers for in order to get the dual pistons calipers? The car is a 94 del sol S with Integra knuckles waiting for it.

lol ..the only dual caliper system comes from the legend GS coupe. best place to find that would have to be a junkyard unless that place can actually get them remanufactured.

so all I need is the 94-95 legend S calipers....I figure they'll be cheaper and easier to find than NSX calipers. And those will bolt up to the 94+ Integra knuckles right?

legend GS......

yes they will use a ITR or Legend rotor but drilled for 4x100...

if u use the ITR rotor which is 23mm in thickness u will need to trim the back side of teh caliper theres a slight lip that need grinding down.

if u use Legend rotors then you can get away without grinding the caliper......



i had them front and back
