Legend caliper brake swap?
Guest
Posts: n/a
Has anyone ever done this swap with legend calipers and using redrilled 4 bolt prelude rotors? The legends have 2piston calipers and the older nsx's are pretty much the same(actually smaller) but the pads are like way more. Also the rotors from a g60 Corrado can be use but a spacer will have to be use cause the offset is a little different but for like $60 for a set of 11" rotors from autozone with a lifetime warranty can't be passed up. Just wondering

Yeah but he used the Accord wagon calipers(same as one as ITR) or something like that. I remember the post cause it was very informative non the least but it's using using a one piston caliper. So I was wondering if the larger caliper would need you to change to a bigger MC or what?

94-95 Legend cpe ONLY has the two piston setup you want.

92-95 VTEC is what you want , the 4 lug ones.
I dont like the 5 lugs since you have to elongate one of the holes to get a 4x100 pattern out of them.

i did a similair setup to this except i went over to the 4x114.3 side. no matter what rotor you use (from my expereance) you will have to either shim or grind.
now there maybe some wheels out there (te37 i have heard are awsome for clearing big calipers) but i don't know. the only thing that turned be off from useing the 2 piston caliper, is how much has to be ground off (around 7-8 milimeters i have heard). and my dumb *** couldn't figure out were to put the shims some people use. but if i ever run into some one that knows how to do the shims id get myself a set of the older NSX calipers that say NSX on them and slap them on the car, id love the bling and the better clamping power

THere was a guy in the ef forum that slapped NSX on his crx and has a nice write up and pics. It's just that its easier and cheaper to find legend calipers than NSX ones. There are pretty much the same but the legends are actually a little bigger than the NSX of the mid 90's years.

and when you flip sides on the NSX calipers the differential bore is backwards , which is bad if you track your car at all and would lead to very strange and accelerated pad wear.
FYI - I've had both and they are identical in weight , only thing different is the bore size and location of the bleeder , oh and the NSX's say NSX in raised letters.
