Default Pix from Legend 2-Piston Brakes Upgrade

Here are some pix from my recent Legend 2 Piston Upgrade. I got some 2-piston GS Caliper from the junkyard with 25T brackets from a 95-97 Accord V6. Painted the calipers gold to give them the mugen look. I used rotors from a 95-97 Accord V6 or wagon.

I had to buy new seals for the calipers...freaking $65 (dealer didn't even have them only one company makes it and its special order) for seals. I fucked up the old ones by soaking them in oil to clean them. Oil expands brake seals like a sponge.

While I was upgrading everything I got new stainless steel lines too.

Calipers with no pistons and painted

The Pistons.


Calipers with new $65 seals.

25T Accord V6 brackets.

Rotor and Hub pulled. (remove the four bolts and a slide hammer does the trick.)
Three hits on the slide hammer and off the hub and rotor came.

Stock 10" rotor next to the V6 11" rotor.



Perfect bolt on (no mods what so ever)



new rear rotors and SS lines.

Finished Product behind 19" Axis Se7ens

That looks really good. I should really sort out my brakes some day.

Good Job..... makes me want to paint my brakes too.
Got the same setup just with 97 Lude Calipers.
How much did the GS Calipers run you ?
