Default Legend GS Dual-Piston Caliper on ITR 4x114??

Im running the 4x114 ITR lug-swap on my Integra and i was wondering if anyone here has ever ran the Legend GS caliper on their ITR 4x114 setup. I need to know what type of modifications i will need to do to the caliper brackets in order to make them fit properly.


Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

parts needed

94-95 legend GS 2-pot calipers w/ brackets
92-95 Prelude Vtec 11" rotors (or fastbrakes.com 4X114.3 11" rotor)
pads (ITR, legend GS, NSX, accord wagon, etc)
shims

you'll need to cut the dust shield off to accomodate for the bigger caliper bracket.
you'll need to add shims, where the new bracket will meet with the knuckle in order to clear the rotor

96 Spec JDM ITRs came with 4x114.3 front rotors that were 262mm in diameter. All rotors had the same diameters as non-ITR Integras. All calipers are shared with non-ITR Integras.

one of my main reason of the switch-over is easier access to brake rotors because right now the only Rotors available are the ones from Fastbrakes... having the double piston caliper wouldn't hurt either.
