I think I've decided on an brake combo for 96 LX 4 door:
Legend GS calipers (loaded with pads and bracket)
96 Accord V6 rotors

My question:
Do I use the brackets that come with the calipers or do I need ones for the rotors?

Also, which pads, legend or V6?


I have read all of the upgrade articles and just don't know about these issues.
Thanks in advance.

 

Hm, from reading the other threads you're to use 23T brackets if doing a rotor over hub conversion as well. If not, then 25T brackets, though 28T brackets will work as well though there will be issues when your pads get worn down.

 

i really dont see the problem with using a 28t as long as you dont wear your pads down to the service limit. though even if u did, i am not sure it would cause too much trouble, but i personally have never tired to run it that low, so i cant be sure either way.

i mean its not like the piston is on the verge of popping out or anything, its far from it.

 

The Accord V6 rotor should be 25mm, so the 25T bracket is reccomended.

Legend pads and Accord V6 pads are the same.

 

I ended up finding a deal on some rebuilt V6 calipers with brackets, new pads and new rotors ($50 for all). I went that route. I have no idea what the brakes felt like before because I never drove the car (bought it with a blown motor) but, these brakes feel great. They have PLENTY of stopping power, I had to use it when someone almost stopped in front of me from 65 MPH).

Thanks for the input though.
