**Brake upgrade questions: Rotor over hub with 2 piston upgrade**
**EDIT**
OK, I think I have the answer, maybe someone can just confirm.
For a rotor over hub conversion coupled with the 2 Piston Caliper upgrade you need the following:
1) 98 Acura CL Front Hubs
2) 98 Acura CL Front Rotors
3) 90-97 Accord Wheel bearings
4) 94-97 Accord Wagon Pads/95 Legend pads/98 Acura CL Pads
5) 95 Legend GS 2 Piston Calipers
6) Honda 25T Caliper Bracket.

That's not the question.
You want the Legend's pads for sure.

Thank Muffin Man.
So I need to go with the 23T bracket vice the 25T and Acura 3.0 CL rotors vice the 2.3CL ones. Good to know.

Haha yeah, I referenced that thread when I did my NSX caliper setup on my Accord, though I kept HoR.
It's by far the best brake thread for Accords I've seen as it actually has the user's name and their setup. So you could speak directly to them regarding it.
As another note for you, you probably want to consider replacing your BMC as well at the same time, good time since fluid will be changed (I recommend ATE SuperBlue) and the BMC you have may crap on you. Mine started to leak after awhile.
Stainless lines always a recommendation too
Thanks for the advice.
In regards to the caliper brackets, do the calipers on my wagon currently use the 23T? I assume so as they are the same as the V6 (Again, just want to confirm).

Perhaps the NSX Calipers would be a better option vice the Legend Calipers? It's nice to know there are other options.
The issue with the Legend calipers are the way they are positioned. They are on the other side of the rotor and as a result the calipers are reversed(left on right) this causes the pistons to be differently positioned (big one is before little one). With the NSX calipers that is not an issue. The problem with NSX is the rarity.
are 91-95 Acura Legend LS Sedan (single piston) calipers and brackets considered an upgrade to a 1994 honda accord ex? with a 5 lug conversion.
