To use these on an ITR you will have to swap them form side to side to ensure the bleed screw is on top for correct bleeding.

 

You are the picture man tonight. I love big pics.
Are you going to "refinish" the calipers?

 

I knew you had to swap sides on ONE of the OEM 2-piston callipers

now , take those things in the pic and bolt them on the friggen Kaa...............

 

Not the prettiest things I've ever seen, but .

What's involved with making them work? (Besides swapping L and R) Do they bolt on with stock rotors?

 

Did the piston sizes match up with the direction?

 

I bolted them to the car using the factory ITR caliper bracket a few days ago... they fit just fine using the AutoZone 23mm rotors.

I like Mig's NSX Calipers better.

 

I do too...

 

Autozone rotors own! Just put mine on, and i swear they are worth more than the 25 i paid for them, especially since im gonna put some hard pads on them and beat them to hell so i can get new rotors.haha. i love warranties.

Rguy, who wonders if willard got the calipers at a junk yard.

 

will those things look like something Indiana Jones would have found on one of his adventures

yshi - whose been drooling over these the past few days

 

how about yous and mes swaps...

I will pay shipping.

 

I would, but I need to find a way to buy these from a guy in japan

 

I am noticing the little raised areas (ribs) on the NSX caliper brackets... wonder if that is why you have to shim them when using stock ITR rotors...

 

Yup, I put a set of legend calipers on my ITR braked civic a few months ago. Got them from Autozone.


They work great. Swap sides just like he said.

 

How much were those autozone calipers?

 

Very Nice Will

Mike - who thinks Will wins most Mods to the ITR posts for one night

 

a little drunk post whoring never hurt anybody...

 

Willard, these are heat sinks? Have the same effect as those tiny sinks on RC car motors? Remember those? Just to let the caliper cool off faster.

Also, its not the sinks that require it to shim. Im thinking we need to shim because the offset of the Legend rotor is different or the width of the Legend rotor makes that much different. I had to shim the caliper bracket about 2-3mm.

This picture might explain it

 

what are the details on these calipers? what year? GS model or non GS?

 

Will, do the 2 pistons have the same size? It's kind of hard to tell from the pics. If they have different sizes (seems like they are from the pics), the direction should go from the smaller one to the larger one. Swapping sides would reverse the direction.

 

Ive always thought of this for the guys who did swap. It would be the wrong direction.

Damn, my dad drove a legend for years (traded it in 2000 for an S4) and I never noticed this.
What did those set you back?


Jason

 

damn nice camera

 

It sure looks like one of the pistons is larger than the other. Oh, and get this, one of the pistons looks smaller than the other as well! (it's early, bear with me). Will flipping them over cause a problem?

 

Come on, clean them up and and install them... we want to see them on car...

ps where it is said that Brian of Fastbrakes claims a customer has suffered no undue wear... http://honda.hybrids.jp/forum/showfl...w=&sb=&o=&vc=1

...and still haven't gotten around to investigating these http://www.pureperf.com/brakes/KVR_Python_cal.html with dust seals and $495 loaded...


Zeus- who's sourcing a set with the bigger second piston and finds it interesting that the calipers used on the ITR are also stamped 17CL15VN... wonders if it is not a designation of the size pad the caliper body accepts?
