Default 90 honda Accord LX, need help with brake upgrade

well, i want to upgrade my brake calipers from the accord oem brake calipers. i read on someone's thread that the Acura Legend brake calipers directly bolts on and the caliper uses dual pistons. need help clearing up this. i am also converting my rear drum brake set for a rear disc set, what do i need and what needs to be modified. thanks everyone.

from what i read out there,you could use any 5 gen.accord,i am going to used the rear disc that came from a 95 accord ex-that is for the drum 2 disc conversion it is all just bolt off and bolt on.if you have an accord that your going to use that rear disc from all you need to do is take everything from the knuckle out,don't forget the parking break and the soft-lines,go to your accord take everything out from the knuckle out and replace with the rear disc.as for my front i am going to use the legend and v6 rotors

the accord ex rear disc setup cost me nothing,i saw one at a person's yard,stopped by and ask him about getting the rear setup he also has a 95 accord lx so like we help each other with our cars he gave it to me FREE,if i had gone there much sooner i would have gotten the engine that was in it VTEC,but someone beat me to it.as for my front calipers-it would be on a 94-95 Legend GS Sedan-rotors would be from a 95-97 accord v6/wagon.my accord does not have abs.the accord ex does but all you need to do is plug it up.check out below..hope this helps!
