Accord v-6
You will need new mounting plates and you can use the same rotors. The calipers MUST be 94-95 Legend GS calipers. Search and there shouldbe a lot of info on it. Try searching at http://www.accordinglydone.com as well.
you can use your original rotors and original calliper brackets with the 5th gen accord v6...
i am using av6 rotors and av6 brackets with my legend callipers and they work great!
oh, and also...if you do decide to upgrade to the legend callipers, a problem resides in the position of the bleeders...that's why you have to mount the left calliper on the right and right calliper on the left...this is what i did when i first installed my brake upgrade...
but, on the legend callipers, you will notice that the pistons are two different sizes...a larger one, and smaller one...when you mount the right calliper on the left and the left on the right, the larger piston is placed in front of the smaller piston instead of the original way that they were designed (smaller piston in front of larger piston)...so i decided to put the right calliper on the right side and the left calliper on the left side...to do this, though, you must attach the brake lines and bleed the system before mounting the callipers, or else the bleed screw will be upsidown, making it impossible to bleed the brakes...but once i swapped the callipers around, i noticed a huge difference in the feel of the pedal and the ability to stop much faster...it's really a night/day difference, and i do recomend it...good luck
