Best Place to get a BB Upgrade

[MA_Fan]

I wana do a Big Brake Upgrade, but I dont have a lot of money to just throw into it... i found a set on modacar.com thats the big rotors and brakets and all that let you use the stock calipers... but I dont know it thats worth it its a little under 500$$ whats yall think/??

as for my thoughts on BBK's it's technically overkill unless you plan to track/autocross the car. the AEM kit would be more for the looks since it doesn't come with ss brake lines nor a proportional-valved 4-pot caliper set. and to do that, you're looking at minimum $1200+ (before labor).

but if looks is of some importance to you, the O.E. caliper AEM BBK doesn't look bad at all. that's my opinion.

yea, you'll come off cheaper with either usc's option or fizzbob's, esp. since $$$ is the issue.

ditto man, gather up OEM parts for a larger brake conversion setup

aero3685 is fairly knowledgeable on brake conversions cuz he's working on one right now for his 92 LX

If I remember right from what he told me...if you're looking for larger brakes

2nd gen Legend calipers & get pads for these at AutoZone or buy aftermarket

Use rotors from a 92-96 Prelude, Accord Wagon, or Acura 3.0CL

Some SS lines would be a good idea with all this.

PM him for sho though aight to verify what I said

quoted from aburn:

I have to change mine as well.
The h22a get's me going fast, but nothing it there to stop me.
I'm gona be doing the legend caliper / v6 rotor swap here in a few months.


So I'm pretty sure what I said was right....seems like I remembered correctly what aero3685 told me then.

I assume you want the Legend's dual piston caliper. When you look for them at salvage yards look for 1993-1995 Legend Coupes all trims and 1994-1995 Legend GS Sedans those are the only Legends with dual piston calipers. Or if you really wana pimp you could get 1991-1995 NSX calipers. Those would be very sexy.

Anyhow I have seen them go for as little at $65.00 a pair all the way up to $250.00 a pair. Even more if they are rebuilt. Use car-part.com to find them. It's a great resource with many many places to buy from.
