Default Accord 97... legend brakes (conversion)

Anyone has done the legend conversion here?
If yes? Was it just the Calipers from legend GS, T23 prelude brackets?
Also, how would you describe the Legend 4 piston brakes to the stock brakes in an accord?
Thanks!

The legend calipers are 2 piston. i'm in the process of gathering the parts for this conversion and the rotor-over-hub conversion. mind you CL hubs are not easy to find (junkyard wise). anyway, yes you use the legend gs 2 piston calipers (remember Left on right and Right on left so that the bleeder screw is up) and the 23T caliper bracket from the prelude vtec. from what others have said, the stopping power is noticeable, and is very very nice! also, you can use the bigger prelude rotors, etc...

link to the article in case i fudged something...

If you were to bother to read the link i posted, it gives you all the information you would need to do the install. it isn't difficult. anyway, i don't think there is a write up with pictures. atleast, i havn't found one yet.

I have a Legend w/ Type II motor. The car weighs about 3500 lbs and has 230 horses. The brakes are more than ample for the car so on an Accord, it would be a vast improvement.
