Acura Legend GS caliper swap set up help...HELP!

[sherker55]

Awesome guys!  sounds like a solution!  I am going to find out if these really are legend rotors, and if they'll take them back, if not TIm they are yours!

[sherker55]

Anyone got the OEM part number on the coupe front caliper brackets?

[timot_one]

Okay man.  I'll definitely take them off your hands if Tire Rack won't take them back.  Just PM me about it when you know what you're doing.  I'm going to compile all the information from the 3 different threads that we have on this one topic.  From now on, let's try to keep this in one thread instead of having multiple threads on one topic.  Even though there are different variations of this set up, I think it would be best to keep everything in one thread in the OP.

[sherker55]

dude, that's exactly what's needed because of the different variations depending on the vehicle!  thanks Tim, I'll keep you posted.  

If anyone finds that part number for the Coupe brackets PM me please!

Honda only has the entire caliper assembly on their parts sites that I've been looking on.  Find out that site that Ken was talking about.

Buy a set of remanufactured 6MT coupe caliper brackets, and you will be fine. Advance auto parts has them for 29.99 each. I have them and im using 6mt coupe rotors, legend calipers, hp+ pads, 6mt coupe brackets. I have an 05 ex sedan auto. So it will work for you too.

Legend brackets might or might not bolt up to our knuckles, legend rotors are small though 11" vs the mt coupe 11.8"

If they bolt up, then your fine. But imo you wasted more money than you should have.

Alright I am going to tackle these parts tomorrow...but what years will the caliper bracket from the coupe work...any 7G???
So, needed:
-coupe caliper brackets 6MT
-coupe rotors 6MT
-legend calipers (which I have)
-legend pads (which I have)

GL on the coupe caliper brackets man. I milked all of the internet just to fine it. As for the Coupe Rotor check Amazon and but the Centric sign up for the prime and cancel it. Its 46 bucks for both sides.

wow, $46 for BOTH!  nice...how are the centrics compared to the brembo blanks???  Ken, didn't you say that brembo's are being made in china now?  the gs blanks that I have say "made in Italy" on them.

Tim, getting a full refund from tirerack.com, thanks for the back up option though!

yeah.. The old one are made in Italy. The New New are made in china and your are still going to pay a premium for them. There like 55 a piece for just the name.. I can't justified that since there made in China. It they were still made in Italy. I would buy it for 55 a piece. No question asked. The Centric are also made in china but is half the cost. Centric owns powerslot and Stoptech. So its not like its a random brand.

Also I like how they double grind the rotors. Give it a really nice look

I was thinking about getting the drilled & slotted, is it worth the money?

[thisaznboi88]

just get the solid one and regular 11.1in rotors and call it a day. That what you don't need to find those impossible calipers. brackets.

[sherker55]

yeah, I think I will just go with the blanks for now, and if I do anything else with the brake system in the future, I will just go with a BBK...I found the caliper brackets at a junk yard, so I have to buy them, and then I am good to go!
