Default big brakes on dx knuckle question

So I've been looking into this big brake upgrade with the 23t/25t caliper bracket.

I know the Accord Wagon has the proper calipers, but the only one I've ever seen in the junk yard, had no calipers.

There is a few Legends there, but I think they are an older model...

What is the big difference between the 23t and 25t bracket? Anything? As long as I get the associated caliper, will they bolt on and work? I'm aware of the mil work required and such, just need to know what actually works.

Yeah I am trying to fiqure out the same thing. I have a set of wagon calipers I snatched up for $22. Mine are 25t. I looked at the legend ones and the bracket looks different. I would hunt for a accord wagon or a vtec prelude.

I figured out that the 25t means the rotor is 25mm in thickness?
so 23t would be 23mm, 28t would be 28mm etc. I'm just going to wait until I come across another Accord wagon.

Do that or a 4th gen prelude vtec or any 5th gen prelude. I may be parking mine to brake issues. All new stuff and it still wont stop. Just has to last 1 month before I can park it in the back yard under a tarp for the next 10 years.

Nope I dont. So far I have had to replace the master cylinder,brake lines,calipers,pads and rotors,brake booster. Bled the brakes till the cows come home. I have done a million other brake jobs before with zero issues. Current booster and master came from a working car. Also checked the hard lines and vacuum leaks. They should work but its a honda so they dont. Been in a non si crx and it had way better brakes. I really dont care at this point as my a-piller is rusted threw on the drivers side. The b-pillar is not that far behind. Hopefully one more month is all this car will see before it is forgotten about in the back yard.
