woudl the itr calipers work with the legend gs rotors?

 

i don't think so...i might be wrong

 

i really need a definite answer on this..

 

do a search...

 

Is it necessary to upgrade the rear brakes to keep the braking process balanced?

 

Okay... was looking at the NSX rear brakes at the dealership and they look aweful yummie.

yes it will fit, you might have to cut the rotor a little, no biggie.

 

Thanks for all the help guys

it has NEVER been covered before.. thanks for the useful advice

 

hahaha, "do a search." i guess thats what everyone should be doing.

Yes, to a point. The ABS has algorithms to take things into account, such as stickier tires, but there is a limit. What it is is known mainly to Honda engineers.

You should use a pad as aggressive as you use up front, perhaps more so, like carbotech bobcat, at the rear.

The clamping force of ITR calipers and non-ITR would be the same since both use 57mm pistons. There is more leverage to be had w/ 11.1" rotors over 10.3", but the difference is less than 10%, based on diameter. Stiffness of the caliper also plays some part, so let's say 10% is total diff.

Non-ITRs use organic pads in back, so by upgrading these to a better pad, you should get more rear bias, which can then counteract increased front bias.

good info
so what differs from a non R caliper vs an iTR caliper?

 

As you've read from your other post, it is bigger and stiffer and has more clearance for a thicker rotor (also it mounts slightly different, due to differences in ITR knuckle and hub).

The only thing the same between it and non-ITR is the piston is the same, so they should have the same clamping force, to a large extent. Calipers that flex more aren't quite as efficient, so there would be less clamping force on non-ITR calipers, but I doubt that it represents a significant difference.

 

i am under the impression that the itr, nsx, and v6 legend calipers are all the exact same dimesions but the nsx and legend calipers have 2 pistons. however, i could be mistaken.

 

Legend and NSX are two pot calipers.

and the differential bore is slightly different on the two.
