there is but have to get custom brackets made in order to upgarde your rear rotors to 11inch using rear nsx calipers but you cant use your stock 15inch rims have to use 16inch

I’ve read that you can get the rear caliper brackets and rotors from a 2003 civic si… You just use your stock calipers with the SI brackets and rotors. They are only 10 inch, but that is still a lot bigger than whats on there now

i’m 99% sure i’m about to catch some back lash, but reading through an entire 24 pages…yea…

i just wanted to ask, to ensure you get the dual piston legend brakes, is there a specific year model, or are all legends equipped w/ dual piston calipers? i’m asking because i know of where a legend is sitting up right now and i have a possibility of pulling the brakes off

</div>

Legends with dual piston calipers are only ones that have type 2 motors

So all 93-95 coupes will have them

Only GS 9495 sedans will have them

Anything else won’t have them.

My rotors are wearing very thin so I might as well attempt this front brake uprgrade.

Are the 95-98 Odyssey Calipers the same as the Prelude Vtec/ITR calipers?

I can get get 95-98 Odyysey calipers for deals and I’m looking for a bolt on affair. I’d rather not deal with grinding down surfaces or redrilling rotors.

Rotor Options  
•90’ VW Carrado Diameter = 280mm Thickness = 22mm Thickness including hub = 39.2mm  
•98-02 Mercury Cougar Diameter = 278mm Thickness = 24mm Thickness including hub = 47mm  
•07 Mini Cooper Diameter = 276mm Thickness = 22mm Thickness including hub = 44mm

Which rotor would be my best option for as little modifications as possible with the said calipers?
