Dayummm! Ur setup is gonna be sick bro

[mondojackal]

Definitely interested to see pics of that completed brake setup. What are those calipers off of? Are they the Legend GS calipers?

[heero357]

i'm sure it will all turns out rite. alot of planning & research has gone into this so my confidence is absolute. once my radiator support is done it should all start coming together.

Calipers r off a 2008 RL.

here's a shot of the knuckle w/ the 350z rotor.

[PhatAccord]

oh. so your using a 350z rotor?

[heero357]

yeah bro, accord/tl v6 rotors don't have enuff surface area for the brake pads to fit properly & the acura rl rotors r 5x120 instead of 5x114. using ebc greenstuff pads

[PhatAccord]

no mods needed. just had to get braket made to fit the knuckle & it all bolts rite up. i'll take more detailed pics when i do the final install.

very nice. but you still had to make a custom bracket to mount the caliper to hub right?

[heero357]

^^yes. brakets were machined out of t7075 aluminum by a guy in Va. whose had the same setup on his 7th gen coupe for a couple of years.

[PhatAccord]

nice. so pretty much custom; not a direct bolt on. thanx for sharing

it is a direct bolt on. all i had to do was bolt the braket to the knuckle, then put the caliper on the braket & bolt it down. pics coming soon.

Been a little busy, chek it out!!!


1st time doing a support, i had to drill 50 frikken spot welds to get this bitch off.


finally put in these last 2 esp mounts. wasn't gonna b a better, easier time than this.




My boy Shiek did the welding for me cuz i don't know how


not bad for my 1st radiator support.

[swk_cb7]

Nice man. How much was the support? I need one.. and what size lincoln welder are you using?

[heero357]

Thanx man. paid $105 for the support off ebay but i've had it for 15 months so it might b more now. & it fit perfectly so don't let the EBAY fool ya, it's still sm4 and fits as well as factory. as for the welder, i'm not sure what it is but i think it's 1 under the 220 welder.

[Straight Success]

Very nice. I'm impressed.

[heero357]

thanx bro, workin hard on it. also got to put these on finally. Fat Four Customs radiator brakets
