Default 90 rex big brake upgrade question.

hi i'm in the process of doing a big brake up grade on my 90 crx and i'm looking for a simple answer if possible. now i've readed brakefast write up and othe forums but i'm still looking of and answer.

here's my simple list:

1993 VW Corrabo rotor 11"
1993 Acura Integra caliper
Fastbrake brakets

now i've been reading here and there about the 1995 Acura Legend 2 pot calipers. now i've been told that swaping calipers from the integra to the legend will benifite me better. but i was also told that it wouldn't work with my spindle.

so can someone shine a lil light if it possible to use the legend cailpers instead of the integra. even if not possible what i would need to make it work

thank you

remo

for 11" brakes you need DA brakes or 90-91 civic EX front hubs

fastbrakes sells a kit that works with the standard civic hubs and 9.5" brakes. its actually one of the cheapest kits he sells.

The legend calipers could be used, but you'd probably need a custom bracket to line them up right. Also, they may be setup to use a thicker rotor, so keep that in mind.

gunnerman - yes i understand that thats why i have DA calipers. but i'm asking to use the legends 2 pod calipers.

CRX Toad - yes i've readed that but jeez it seems alot of the answers are fuzzy, i'll read it again. at time i'm not the britest bulb in the pack. lol.

mike-y - you hit the nail on the head. "The legend calipers could be used, but you'd probably need a custom bracket to line them up right. Also, they may be setup to use a thicker rotor, so keep that in mind. "

thats what i'm trying to find out. if it's possible. i know i'm not only person on the net that has ask or done this.
