big brake kits?

[DarkSideAccord]

wat other big brake kits are available for the 6th gen sedan besides the AEM big brake kit and brembo GT?? can i swap the calipers and rotors from a CL/ TL or other cars??

you can do the legend 2pot caliper swap along with the 11.2" rotors. if done right, it would be better than the AEM kit because the AEM kit uses stock calipers. you could use also the calipers from a V6 accord or maybe even the 4pot calipers from the 04 TL?

the AEM big brake kit doesn't come with a bigger caliper?? i thought it did. wat exactly do i need for this upgrade?? rotors and calipers only right?? any other hardware?

so, is it possible to buy aftermarket rotors meant for the legend, and find a used pair of calipers from the legend?

not unless you're getting the 4piston kit.
also legend rotors will not work on your accord because they are 5 lug and accords are 4 lug.

this is what i bought for my 5th gen for the swap:
1. 95 Legend GS 2 piston calipers (retainer clips are separate)
2. 95-97 Accord V6 11.2" Brembo Blank rotors
3. Accord V6 Brembo Sport pads
4. Goodrich SS brake line kit for V6 Accord.(optional)

however, since you have a 6th gen i'm not sure what rotors you can use, i think prelude vtec but i'd look that up. check out the forums at Accordinglydone.com for more info on the swap.

can you tell us how hard to change the rotor ? i hear it is pretty complicated than regular one for our 5 gen

you may have to get it custom though. unless you use a 4gen lude system.

I remember reading somewhere maybe here that legend brake swap was a bad idea, due to something about the bleeder valve in the wrong position.

will stock brembo brake kit RSX fit to 7th gen accord?
