I have been trying to access the archive for about a little over a week and it wont work....i had printed out some great directions on how to do a legend 2 piston swap on to a 97 accord... but i cant find it and i cant remember what I had to buy

so far i have the v6 rotors...not sure what caliper brackets to get??? if anyone can help me with a link or if they have to instructions saved please email them to me or post them in this thread......thanks

in the how-to's the guy said to use a 23t bracket but on one of the threads they say that the 23t bracket was to small???

 

23T will be ideal. 25T will also work fine.

 

It depends on your rotor thickness. Most seem to be 23mm thick, thus a 23T bracket will work just fine.

 

so all that is needed is the v6 rotors and legend calipers which i have...and to get a 23t bracket? anything else??

thanks for all the help

 

where can you find these brackets? are they a dealership only part?

 

i have some sitting at the shop, still waiting on an easy out to get one damm bolt holding the plate to the hub and the rotor is sandwiched bn, gota love 5th gen accords...

i have the 28T bracket and everyone i talked to said to use that bracket...

im using av6 rotors as well... will i need 23t or 25t brackets?

 

You can use any of the brackets, but the bigger the bracket the more brake travel before you contact rotor.

 

ohhh, ok. well, what would be the most ideal bracket if im using the av6 rotors on my accord?

hey, i hear u know greensleeper, can u vouch for him?
ken

 

23T as stated earlier.

 

what would be the thickness of the AV6 discs?

 

so if i use the 23T bracket will i need the spacers like i should use w/ the 28T bracket?

 

You got it backwards.

 

av6 rotors are 25mm thick.

got what backwards..

 

You got that backwards.

Again, it will all depend on the rotor thickness. If its 25mm, try and find a 25T bracket from an Accord V6 or something.

 

ohh, i think i got it. if i use 25mm otors, ima need 25t brackets. if i use the stock accord 23mm rotors, ill need the 23t bracket... i think i got it now what car uses the 28t bracket anyways...

and what cars use the 25T bracket besides the av6. and i thought that the 4th gen ludes had the 25mm rotors...

The Odyssey and possibly the MDX/Pilot use 28T brackets.

4th gen Prelude use 23mm rotors.

 

Does anyone know if you can put the legend brakes on a 90 accord

 

Well, 2-piston Legend calipers will bolt up to about 4 different brackets. Those brackets will bolt up to the knuckles of your car. You cant use applicable Legend rotors however.

 

has anyone here done this, if so how much of a difference is there with the larger brakes...i just want to make sure it's noticable, because it's a little pricey...

 

ok guys, i just got back from the garage and i test fit the pads and rotors. im using legend twin piston calipers and the 28T bracket, and soem av6 rotors, 11.1" diameter/25mm thickness. it looks as though there is about 3-4mm clearence bn the pads and the rotor, when the piston is fully in the caliper. therefore, if u used the 25T bracket it would be PERFECT for these rotors. but, if u dont, u will have like 3mm of extra travel on the calipers, which should NOT be a problem at all. if yur leary, go find some 25T brackets, although these are extremely rare to come by. you wont need a spacer if u use the 28t bracket and the av6/wagon rotors. this is all going onto a 5th gen accord 4cyl, stock knuckles and suspension for the brake swap...

 

considering the calipers are sliding calipers, wouldnt they self-adjust even with 28T brackets on 25mm rotors? either way 3mm of diff is not as bad as 5mm diff for those using 28T brackets on 23mm wide rotors.

 

ya, i agree, specially since as long as u bleed the brakes w/ them on the rotors, u should be fine as far as pressure loss is concerned, and about 3mm is nothing, thank god i got those av6 rotors... im just wondering about the size differnece in the 10.2 accord vs the 11.1 av6 rotors...

 

sorry, im confused is this four lug or five?? anyone done this on a 6gen??
