Legend Brake Upgrade

I’ve :search: and have came somewhat empty handed.
6 results without full info about this upgrade. It seems
that the original post has been deleted. Im interested in
this upgrade but I would like a lil more info about the fitting
and performance of the legend brake calipers/rotors.
So could someone kindly help me out on this. TIA

i believe what a member had done was get a machine shop to redrill the bolt pattern to 4x100, and have them make a hubcentric ring for it too. i believe the hub center on the legend is a little bit bigger by a few mm.

I know somebody did a really nice write up of this mod, but I can’t seem to locate it anymore. Does anyone have a link to it?

Armed Ferret did it, or is in the process… talk to him about that :up:

The rotors can be sourced at your local Napa store, or by going to www.napaonline.com and selecting a 1994 Prelude VTEC. Make sure it says the size is 11" (or maybe slightly larger). Have them redrilled to a 4x100 lug pattern–take your old rotor to the machine shop if you can, this will help them out immensely.

Calipers–it’s basically a direct fit. I preferred to swap sides–left caliper on the right side of the car, etc. I did this because the smaller piston in original configuration is the first piston as the rotor sweeps through the caliper, and I figured it was best to just keep it this way. Other than that, the only thing you need to do is a little grinding on the inside of the carrier bracket to fit the new application. On the photo below, it’s the area the red arrow is pointing to (it’s an ITR caliper in the photo, but the procedure is the same).

For more information you can look through this thread on honda-tech that details it a bit more. :slight_smile:

Enjoy the new brakes!

I aim to please.

Ask him… :naughty:

so :werd:

I noticed the 94 Prelude VTEC rotors are 4 lugs, what are they originally? How close are the 4x100 holes to the OEM ones?

What calipers did you go with? Does it have to be a certain model Legend? I was reading a lot about it being GS only.

thanks a.farret. ive should have searched h-t also.
since ive checked here and t-i, but its good to have this info here too. :clap:

but dang… the 15’s has a snug fit.

the GS sedan has a 2-piston caliper, all others use the same caliper as the prelude vtec/ITR/accord V6.

the rotors are originally 4x114.3 lug pattern.

as for how close:

The silver spots are studs marking the original holes and the red-circled holes are the new ones.

and yes, the factory 15" gsr wheels are snug, but they fit. :up:

i’m personally going with some team dynamics pro race 1’s in anthracite. here’s a 15" from fastbrakes’ website–that’s a 12.2" rotor and a 6-piston caliper under there!

That’s a lot of money to invest. I stop good enough with just SS lines, AEM pads and some Brembo blanks. :slight_smile:

I have 94 prelude VTEC rotors, cross-drilled and slotted. All i would need is Legend calipers?..does it mater if the donor car has ABS?

yeah but you don’t use your integra for strictly road course racing either. :wink:

vsr–i would ebay the drilled/slotted rotors and pick up some oem (non-drilled or slotted) rotors instead. the former will have a MUCH higher tendency to crack under heat.

Ok, are the calipers different if they are ABS or Non-ABS?

learn what ABS is and how it works and you’ll understand why the answer is no.

and do i need anything other than legend calipers?

maybe a spoon so we can continue spoon-feeding you the answers, rather than you doing some work on your own? :shrug:

ooooooookkk, a simple “no” would have been just fine. no need to take your childhood problems out on people that look to you for good info, very sorry to have asked.

i don’t, i take my childhood problems out on my mother. she’s the reason i have them. :slight_smile:

and i’ve got the feeling a simple no would not have sufficed…something tells me you would have asked for more and more rather than do it on your own. i pointed everyone to the thread on h-t, so please use that. :up:

:corn:

Hey bitch, how would you know?! :smiley:
