well its time to get some new brakes on my gsr. im going to get the specR kit from fastbrakes. but i noticed some people getting the legend calipers. i asked brian about using the legend calipers with the specR kit and he said since the rotors are thinner the piston would be pushed 2.5mm farther out. he also said he sells the legend rotors but they are like 30 bux more a piece.

so now i have some questions:

do you think the 2 piston upgrade it worth the xtra money?
can i use the stock itr rotors and save some cash?

any insight would be greatly appreciated

 

You have a GSR platform?

 

yes but upgrading to itr rotors and calipers

 

I think there's a slight size difference in the rotors..you can get like washers or you can just buy the rotors for the legend and it'll fit

You can use R rotors no problem. Considering you can get legend calipers for the same or less than R calipers it should be worth it.

 

sounds good

 

should have added.

ALways check http://www.car-part.com for junk yard parts.

I got 2 legend calipers shipped for $80 with brackets, bolts and uncut brake lines.

 

well i just orderd my kit from fastbrakes...brian is a great guy

i got the blank rotors with axxis ultimate pads

im going to be using legend calipers..so i hope it wont be too much of a hastle putting them on my gsr..

what exaclty is involved in rebuilding a caliper? the ones i bought have like 120k miles..
