yep, just get the proper rotors, brackets, and you are set, Its the GS legend caliper, or the NSX caliper. 24/28t Brackets, Not certain as to which one, and if you have PRESS over HUBs, then the v6 95 rotor will work from the accord, or the 95 wagon rotor will work also.
11" rotor and two piston calipers. I am running hte NSX setup on my accord.

Here you go all the information you need. http://www.accordinglydone.com...=8300

I just finished with my brake upgrade but I used the V6 Accord Rotors and calipers. Just to let you know if you call around and buy some remanufactured calipers you can get them for just about the same price as used so keep that in mind.

The accord was one of the only cars, probably the ONLY that had a ROH setup. The LEgend and NSX had floating calipers. If you wanna do ROH...read the write up for the ROH swap. Its for accords of the 5th(4th, some) gen. K thx bye. The ROH stuff will be able to be swapped on to your car if you want. ROH conversion just makes it were you dont have to have your HUBs pressed on when you need them changed, and the rotors arent 150$ a set

I have a question. I have been looking for these calipers for awhile since they kinda pricey and hard to find. But what is stopping people from going to say autozone or checkers to get some calipers there for like $90 each? Is it the OEM quality that people are trying to get? Just curious.

rollercosta123, you have to be the laziest son of a you know what. That link that I posted has everything you need. I used it to do my brake upgrade. I used 95 Accord V6 rotors and calipers worked great. Do some searching on that website and do your homework and don't expect everyone to just hand you what you want.

Lazy bastard.
