NSX/ITR/Legend 2 piston big brake install...with pics. 11.1" rotors
Searched and didnt find anything so I decided Id post it up for others. Also Im a ***** and am going to link you to it. Also added the picture so that the little "camera" will come up next to the thread to prove I have pics....that and I basically did the thread off stuff I thought people might search for in the future....

Very nice!
Few questions:
- where did you get the re-drilling done?
- For the Brembo blanks are you saying that the prelude/accord and type R rotors are the same but the rsx-s, tl ones are different, right? and you recommend the prelude/accord/typer because you dont have to grind as much off the caliper?
Thanks for the great post!

I got mine done at a place called race concepts but they have since then closed. I dont really know if the rsx-s and tl ones are the same or different offset as the preludes due to the fact that I dont think the rsx-s was even out when i first did these. Ive heard that the legend disc are thicker and therefore you have to grind more material off.

Re: (95 integra)
I am looking to doing this on my car over the winter. I was wondering where you have to grind the caliper bracket and your post answers that question very nicely. Nice write up

good write up, and it's great to see pics,
i have been planning to do this for a while, but i feel guilty for adding all that weight, and now i'll be adding more to it and since i want to use the sock (itr) brakcets i won't be using the legend pads.....
i've heard they don't inrease stopping as much without ABS
call me weak but i'm thinking now maybe i'll save for the spoons.
:sigh: i just don't know
-thad- who has a sizable debt to pay off before even thinking of brakes

Something I may have to keep in mind. </TD></TR></TABLE>
Thanks. I dont see why it would differe much with and without abs to be honest and yes i am selling them for 220...actually i have several people interested but no cash to show for interest.

you have to get a bigger master cyl at all? wonder what kinda affects running bigger brakes like those have on it.

I didnt and it was fine for the fronts and stock rears, whenever i upgraded to the bigger rears I probably should have gone to a 1" MC for a little firmer pedal feel but it still had enough to lock up the tires *cough cough* I mean make the abs kick on.

what did you upgrade to for the rears? i was wondering if you could do the twin piston caliper in the front, then use a stock front gsr rotor and caliper in the rear and a 1" master cylinder. did you use a front gsr rotor and caliper for your rears?

you cant use front calipers in the back because you would loose the ebrake system as they are built in adjusters and all. If you didnt care then maybe but i doubt it.

This is why i didnt do the fronts to rear. I did the RSX-S rears.
