Default V6 front brake calipers on 4 cylinder accord.

Can you install v6 fron calipers on a 4cylinder accord ? My car is a 98 4cyl accord and the parts car is a 99 6cylinder accord.

Is the caliper bigger? Are you just replacing it for fun or because your caliper is shot?

Any way it should work.

after thinking about this, aren't the v6 calipers bigger than the 4 cyl? If so TX is right just do a 5lug swap. or get 1995 Prelude Vtec rotors for the front. 4x114 and they are 11.1". So if your running stock 14" they will not clear.

Wouldn't you also need a new caliper bracket? Oh but never-mind you have the v6 bracket avail.

Small update on the old thread.

In the end I used v6 calipers and brackets. And I bought 1996 VTEC prelude rotors which are 4 lug and arenthe same size as a 99-02 v6 accord.

everything was bolt on, no complications. I am even still running the oem 15in alloy wheels.

braking performance is superb compared to the 4cyl stuff.

i have less than 130$ In this upgrade.

have had it for a while and am very happy with it.
