i think it was the pre '94 or '95 nsx, and the '94-'95 legend coupe or sedan gs works as well-MUCH CHEAPER TOO!

you'll need a 5mm shim pad for each side.

Re: brake caliper swap (del_parker)

you only need the shim if you use the NSX calipers the Legend ones are just bolt on.

i know a tuner that just got some NSX calipers on his 2001 civic SI and it works great. how heavy are legends? how much do the calipers cost?

Re: brake caliper swap (sslude)

I'd really like the legend calipers, too, if the price is right. For the money, though, I think good pads on good rotors will perform just as well for much less. I'm still debating, though...
