Im doing a brake upgrade on my EF. I have my Legend dual piston calipers on DA knuckles and a DA rear disc conversion and prop valve. I have these components ready to install but I still have my stock 13/16 Master/Booster.

What Master Cylinder/Booster set up do I need to compliment my set up?

I also want to run stainless steel brake lines. Do I order the Front Lines for Legend and rears for a DA? I appreciate any help.

 

...to install the: legend 2-piston, nsx or itr (17cl15vn) caliper. you have to send out the bracket (i think it's either a 23T, 25T or 28T) to a machine shop & have them shave off some of the material; grind off (approx 2-3 mm) where the caliper bracket mates with the knuckle. (it will need to be grinded whether you are using the stock dx knuckles or da knuckles).

*if you are running the knuckles which came on your car, it should be a dx. with dx knuckles, you can use 10.3" front rotors, which came on 88-00 ex, 99-00 si or 90-01 teg (except for the itr). the only issue you will have is pad clearance. the brake pad will need to grinded or filed (as exiting as it sounds) in order to clear the hat of the rotor. i like 10.3" front rotors since they are common, inexpensive to replace & easy to find.

*if you are using da knuckles for your legend 2-piston caliper swap, you will need 11" rotors. keep in mind, there is no 11" rotor which is 4x100 from factory. you will need to source out +97 prelude rotors & redrill them to 4x100

you can use a MC from a 90-93 integra da...it is a 15/16; it is a bolt-on. you can also use a 1" but you may have to bend some lines. remember to bench the MC before you install it or you're gonna go through 2-3 bottles of fluid when you bleed it.

the pro's of using the DX knuckles with the 10.3" is the availabilty of the rotor & cheaper replacement parts. also, less rotational mass & less unsprung weight versus the bigger 11" rotor. plus you have to re-drill the 11" to 4x100 every time you replace it.

i got my brackets machined by brakeexpert, he does great work

Use the DA 1" master cylinder and booster, and you can use CRX w/ disc brake lines.

 

Thanks for the info fellas.
