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

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.
