Are the '00 v6 Accord calipers the same or equivalant to VTEC calipers?
i don't know about the equality but
if you scroll up and look at the pics of my front wheel you will see where i used the 02 TL bracket with the 90 Accord caliper, all worked nice

Ok, how about this.
Will the '00 Accord v6 calipers provide similar performance capabilities in comparison to the VTEC calipers?

Originally posted by JaberCB7 View PostI believe their the same design (mechanically) but the V6 might have a slightly bigger rotor and caliper. If you want better performance Ive heard of members using the Acura Legend calipers witch uses dual pistons
But because the Legend calipers are a rear mount style (cb7 calipers are on the front of rotor)
with the dual pistons, the larger of the 2 would be on the bottom which doesnt allow full contact of the top piston.
Unless you can mount them on the opposite side, of a CB. Hopefully that made sense....

I really don't think all that trouble is worth it though
My friend had a 2002 Altima 3.5 SE which weighs like 300-400lbs more than a CB... all he did was upgrade the rotors + pads, and that thing stopped on a dime from like 120MPH back to back to back
Prelude caliper/rotors are the same size up front... u get Brembo blanks + nice pads... u don't need much... and u dont have to worry about calipers.

you can mount the legend caliper with the bleeder valve down and how its supposed to mount (but on our cars), and when it comes time to bleed it, all you need to do is remove the lower bolt holding the stuff in, loosen the top bolt, swing it up, stick a spare rotor or something solid in there to act as a rotor, and bleed normally.
mounting bleeder up will make it convenient, but it won't take advantage of the different sized pistons, IIRC.
