Is the legend caliper the same/similar to the NSX caliper, without the logo and cooling fins?

i'm still confused, why 23mm instead of 28mm rotors?

 

no.. the NSX units don't need to be swapped from side to side in order to place the bleed screw on top.

Will
-who would himself some NSX calipers.

 

23mm = $24.95 each...
28mm = may fit... may cost more... may work better...

Will
-who sticks with what works.

 

cheapskate

when you say may fit...i thought stock legend gs rotor were 28mm...so why the may fit statement...very confused...i'm picking up a set next week thats why...

 

Legend 'GS' rotors may in fact be 28mm....
The Legend rotors I buy are 23mm thick and are for LE/SE models.

Can you tell a difference between the two by far?

 

Willard, Ive always wondered, if you swap the calipers from side to side, wont the pistons be in the wrong side of braking?

 

Good Lord learn how to crop man!

 

Willards Legend Rotor or ITR rotor VS Legend GS rotor

23mm vs 28mm

 

yes. but according to some the difference is not noticeable.

 

You are such a picture *****!

Good pics though

Jason-
who just exchanged for two new sets of rotors, under warranty of course

 

Braking feel might not be noticeable. But you might get abnormal/uneven pad wear, while even pad wear is one of the advantages of multipiston calipers. Just make sure you pay attention to that.

Are those $25 Autozone rotors? I know some of you guys like those rotors because of the cheap price. But honestly you get what you paid for.

I've tried different rotors on my car. Under the same amount of track usage, the Brembo ones lasted me almost 3 times longer then some generic brand rotors before showing heat cracks. When you buy rotors, try to find out where the rotors were made in. If they were made in China or Taiwan, they are dirt cheap but crack so much easier for track use (ie. Autozone rotors). Granted my car is quite a bit heavier than a type R so it's not a direct comparison. Just want to get the point across.

 

Its a cost issue.
While he may buy one set of AutoZone rotors, you will buy many brembos.
Warranty is a wonderful thing...
OR as some might say...warranties OWNz j00!

aet

 

My Aimco rotors (ie. Autozone) were made in the USA... and preform (in my application) better than OE and Brembo rotors.

Arent brakes fun
I didnt know ITRs had 2 piston floating calipers. Good to know!

What kind of pads are you using?
And why are those rotors red? I bet the brake dust colors your wheels nicely!

 

Sweet can cooler

 

great picutres, Could you explain which peices you heat wrapped, so I could follow

also for those who have nothing better to do then complain, GET A JOB or go back to work

 

I thought only those rotors made in the far east could be sold for so cheap. Thanks for the correction.
And from those pictures, you DO need some new rotors!!

 

"Legend caliper (& brakcet) mounted with 23mm rotors."
stock is one piston floating.

OE on the street... Hawk Blue on track.

not sure... maybe still glowing from the 3-day evenet at CMP (brake killer).

Gunmetal = brake dust color.
