Default Finished Legend/ITR brake swap

Setup:

Legend 3.2L twin piston calipers
282mm powerslots
Ferodo DS2500 pads (racing)
SMC stainless lines
Comma DOT 5.1

Modifications needed to fit on the CRX SiR knuckle:

shimming brackets 4mm
redilling powerslots to 4x100

Fits like stock!

Oddities:

-ITR pads are 100% same as Legend 3.2's
-Had to swap left and right calipers because on the LEgend the calipers are fitted at the back of the knuckle!!

the big question is how do they feel? how's pedal travel & fade from repeated hard stops? are they too easy to lock up?

nice,,, but we must remember that you are in europe, not USA so you're knuckles are different than ours. HEAR THAT EVERYONE! he has SiR knuckles, not Si.

good job, though.

If you use the 1988-1991 Civic EX Sedan knuckle (see hybrid.honda-perf) this setup can be used on the HF, DX, Si as well..

Setup costed me around 900$ including calipers. You guys can get the parts cheaper since much of mine came from the US (lines, rotors)

How does it brake? Since I've only covered around 30mls I haven't really tested it but first impressions: the pedal feels really hard and when pressed deeper there is no spounzy feeling. Pads have a lot of grip and I'm convident 60-0mph should be around 45 yards.. It has to be or I'm not satisfied !
