Legends > NSX > Prelude VTECs, if I recall correctly.

[Sarthos]

Okay. So if hypothetically there's an import junkyard near my house which happens to have all three the Legend is the one to go with. cool.

But the rotors are matched to the calipers or to the hubs? Hubs, right?

[oneoffaccord]

the best bet for every one is go with CL hub/bearing either use the whole knuckle assembly or swap hub/bearing onto the accord knuckle and use prelude vtec rotors and go with what ever caliper you want. LEGEND, NSX, PRELUDE VTEC, CRV and ITR.

ROTORS
97-01 PRELUDE
97-01 INTEGRA TYPE R
96-98 TL 3.2
ALL USE THE SAME ROTORS

Are those all the 11" rotors?

[oneoffaccord]

yes they are

[gloryaccordy]

The 11" rotors + VTEC calipers make such a huge difference

Christ

I have shitty below OEM grade rotors, AEM pads (I think), VTEC calipers....

Pedal feel is firm as hell and there's no fade

It's great

A must mod

[Sarthos]

Where can I even get Acura CL hubs? I've been looking online and only finding rear hubs

[illestatus]

Okay to add to this thread, here is an easy upgrade:

91-93 Wagon front rotors
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!!!!

Man...... So after 27 bucks for the complete vigor caliper setup and wagon rotors and pads, I'm in love with my car again, the difference in braking power is BIG, this is a must for anyone

your best is to go to a salvage yard

[oneoffaccord]

when going to rear disc you need a DA or DC 40/40 PROP VALVE

ok?

does any of these set ups hurt your ABS?? I need brakes like 6 months ago!! 4 real.. and everyone is talking about the rotors im not trying to convert to 5 lug...... ok so this is the set up i want to do say yes i CAN DO THIS or no i can not do this. lol.. i want to do a nsx caliper,acura cl 99 rotor and hub assembley, so i can do all that stuff myself and nsx pads. this is the set up i want to do can i do this set up?

plus for everyone keep in mind that when you ask for 99 cl rotors ask for the v6 ones because v6 and 4 cylinders are different..

thanks guys.

I converted to Prelude 5 lug and my ABS hasn't worked right. However, I have good tires now so I don't need it. I have had a few panic stops and I have yet to lock up the wheels.
