Default accord break upgrade

do any of you guys know any links to websites or other forums that talk about doing the rotor over hub conversion? except for accordinglydone.com i want to pu nsx calipers on my 97 ex and the dont explain much avout the nsx. they talk about the legend and others. i cant find anything at all on this site so please let me know any info if you know any. i want to know the full part list im going to need in order to know if this will work. i heard this has been done before. i just need to know if a 23T bracket would bolt on to the nsx caliper at all.and what kind of rotors would work with the 11.2 upgrade. thanks.

You already started a thread like this, why start another?

Anyway, go to the FAQ's and look under the Brakes section. There are a couple links about the rotor over hub conversion, yes I believe one is to AD but I believe there is one to CB7. CB7 is mostly 4th gen but the brake setup for the 4th and 5th gen Accords is pretty much the same.

Also, it was noted in your other thread but obviously you didn't catch it so...
it's brake, not break

You don't even need to search the site for the rotor-over-hub conversion, it's linked in the Accord FAQ's thats stickied at the top of this forum. There are also a couple other usefull CB7 threads linked in there as well.

I plan on doing a write up for the Prelude VTEC swap I did. Until then refer to the FAQ.

I remember reading a discussion on here years ago that discussed Legend and NSX calipers. I don't remember what was being discussed but I'll see if I can find it. But I want to say this was a few years ago.

I've heard of Raybestos and maybe Bendix but not Cardone. I don't know which is best. I've only purchased one reman caliper and it was for my 95 Accord EX but I don't remember the manufacturer.

Mine are Fenco. So far 6 months of use on all four corners and not one seized one. So I'm pretty happy with that.

I know that Cardone makes a good remanufactured caliper. Have no experience with Bendix or Raybestos.
