depends on which one you want. unless you have the rotors also, chances are they wont fit. legends are 5 bolt, and we have thicker rotors than you do.

the type 1 and type 2 legends had different calipers, type 2 had thicker rotors, and dual piston calipers, and type 1 has single piston

i guarantee legend rotors are thicker than the integra ones.

i think you would be better off getting some kind of aftermarket setup, legend brakes are not that great. it is a luxury car before it is a sports car.

true... it was either that or some brembo slotted rotors... there are some people who have redrilled the legend rotors to a 4X100 pattern and mounted on the calipers and rotor... they said they feel no difference as of weight but stopping power really improved

you would get better braking by far if you just bought a big brake kit or something. the amount of time and money it would cost to get them redrilled and made to fit, and to actually buy them (not to mention they will be used, because buying a new brake system from acura would cost more than a big brake kit)

I say just go with all aftermarket, you will see better gains than the legend parts, not to mention save yourself the hassle of getting everything redone.

people do them in preludes too. He wants them in his integra because of the rotor difference. The teg has very small rotors compared to the legend.

yes, you can do it on preludes, but only the 97+ preludes had 5 bolt, and only the integra type R's had 5 bolt wheels.

however, the 00 integra LS that he has is 4 bolt, and unless you want to do a very expensive wheel mount transplant, just stick with 4 bolt.

you would need type R hubs, and type 2 legend calipers (the 2 piston ones) and type 2 legend rotors. to make it all work.....

stick with 4 lug, buy an AEM kit or something of that nature.

Ranger Joe: There is currently a thread in the integra forum covering this very thing.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=734560
It doesn't involve a hub swap, it only involves a little bit of grinding on a legend or type-r caliper mount. Check out the thread for more info.
