Default Anyone consider rear brake upgrades? or have any ideas for possible swaps?

any possible rear brake upgrades? caliper swaps from other cars? Oddessy rear calipers any diff/better/fit? 1st gen CL? 6th gen accord/CL/TL rear calipers? long shot, but early year NSX rear calipers?

I have been told the popular 94-95 legend GS has a drum/caliper combo, a drum brake in the rotor, and calipers for reg brakes, so that probably wont work.


and yes i know the rear brakes does considerably less work than the fronts, but I'ds till like to know if anything is possible (easily anyways, no major mods required).

yeah, I think as long as you got rear disc brakes with some nice pads, you should be fine. Isn't it only 20-30% of your braking done by the rear brakes?
