ROH conversion question

[carcollectorkid]

Okay so there are so many conversion for front brakes. I think i finally found what will work. I need so reasurence that i am going to order the right stuff

99 Acura Cl hubs
90-93 New Accord wheel bearings
90-97 Accord Wagon Calipers & Rotors

this should work with all the research i have been doing.
if anyone has any other info i would really appreciate it. im going to order this stuff on friday.

90-97 wagon rotors won't work.

You'll need the 92-95 prelude vtec.

Also you can't run steelies with the wagon set uop (or any rim smaller than 15)

i know i got 15" steelies. i guess ill just do the wagon rotors and caliper than. i got a press so its not that hard do which the rotors.

re-check your info just to be sure...

What I do know is that the prelude VTEC rotors/calipers are for doing the ROH AND increasing your rotor size to the 11" rotors. The Prelude VTEC clipers are also the same as the ITR front calipers. I did the CL hubs, Prelude rotors and calipers/pads.

If you are only doing the ROH and not upping the rotor diameter I think you need the CL 2.3 Hubs w/ bearings, and the CL 2.3 rotors. Then you use your accord calipers/pads.

so with the acura cl hubs and accord wheel bearings, i ant use accord calipers and rotors?

no, you need the acura rotors too. The acura cl rotors are 10" like the accords, only they go over the hub. The existing accord calipers will work with this. By doing this mod, the only thing you've changed is how much easier it will be to change your rotors in the future. Every other aspect will be the same.

Now, if you buy aftermarket rotors like Brembo, Powerslot, etc, and throw on some Hawk HP Plus pads, or Green Stuff, etc, then you have upped your game. Make sure you buy rotors that are meant to fit the acura cl, and pads meant to fit your year accord.

Remember, Wagons, V6's, Preludes, and ITR's all use larger diameter rotors and larger calipers. They use an 11.2" disk which will not fit inside a steelie or rim smaller than 15".

Accord coupe's and sedan's use the 10" disk that is the same size as the Acura 2.3 CL, only the accord is the hub-over-rotor and more difficult to change out.

On another note, and not to be too confusing, but this is important for anyone planning to do the 11" upgrade. Accord wagons and V6's use a 25mm thick rotor and the calipers have 25T stamped on the underside of the mounting bracket. Preludes and ITR's use a 23mm thick rotor and have a 23T stamped on the underside of the mounting bracket. So if you do the upgrade, stick with matching parts and double check before you tear your car apart. I ran into a lot of trouble with this when I did mine because the difference is so slight that the average guy who rebuilds calipers for Akebono or whoever may not notice, and end up packaging it incorrectly. It's a long story, trust me.

^good info, also the Legends w/ the dual piston calipers (forget which yrs/trim/2dr/4dr, whatever) have 28mm rotors, thus 28T brackets. Def. wouldn't want those brackets w/ Lude VTEC rotors, that's for sure!
