        Show us the box it came in along with any marking or indication on the rotors. That may save you the hassel of shipping.

          I have talked to Brembo by phone and keep in mind Brembo does not make any slotted and drilled rotors. And does anyone know what the actual box design looks like? I have seen 2 used by Brembo and 2 others on other sites(eBay).

            91-93 Front brake calipers w/ brackets (These are the same as Vigor)
            91-93 Brake pads

            That's it. Simple and very effective.

            For wagon owners:

            EBC or Brembo front rotors
            Green stuff pads

            With either setup, be prepared to kiss the windshield!!!!
            ok, what if I already have the 98' 2.3 CL rotor-over-hub conversion, what rotors do I use? Prelude?...

              I hope some one reads this soon. I have the acura legend brake calipers with the 23T bracket. I took the brake pads back thinking I was going to get new ones anyways. Well I don't know what year it came from and don't know which kind of pad I should get. Do they make the ebc green pads for this caliper? Please help I was hoping to install the calipers this weekend. Oh one more thing do I need to get bigger rotors to fit those calipers on there or can I just bolt them up? Thanks

                just to clarify, all 4 of those parts: rotor, caliper, bracket, and brake pads come from the wagon, right?

                and no other parts are required?
                the type of brake fluid remains the same?

                  That's what the box looks like, its red and has Brembo insignia all over it


                  And this is what you should also find inside the box accompanied with the rotor, its kinda like a proof of authenticity, Oh these are VIGOR 11.1 inch rotors btw, idk if they are the same at Wagon rotors in disc width, but in diameter and hub-over-rotor yes

                      Yeah, you'll be fine. You might want to consider finding a 15" spare tire too or if your front tire ever goes flat you'll have to put a spare on the rear and move that tire to the front.

                            That's tough, since the rear disks on the legends/vigors used drum-in-hat emergency brakes. You'd have to retrofit that on too.


                            Blk EX Coupe probably has a lot more relevant information, but I had a heck of a hard time fitting 11.1" rotors in a 15" rim. Sorta depends on the rim too, I guess.

                              So that picture Losi posted of the Vigor brake, im confused, cuz it shows the cuts for the hub, but no bolt holes.

                              For the vigor brakes, are they still HOR and have to be pressed? Or do I have to do the CL hub conversion?

                              I want to do a ROH conversion, but still upgrade the discs and caliper if i can. Right now I'm an LX with the rear disc conversion. I am ok with the rears staying stock like they are, but i want slightly bigger calipers and rotors like the vigor or wagon, just minus the HOR design.

                              What options do i have?

                              Hola, tengo tres patas. Me llamo tripod.

                                read through a couple threads after a i did some hardcore searching lol here is what i came up with...

                                CL hubs
                                Prelude VTEC caliper and bracket with corresponding rotor and pad

                                the way i read it is that those rotors are bigger at 11.1" compared to our 10.2ish, the caliper is bigger, the bracket will bolt up fine, and also i get rid if HOR and now am ROH.

                                please someone correct me if im wrong. also, will the stock accord brake lines work?
