How To: Acura Legend GS Sedan Dual Piston Caliper Swap

[suleman_manji]

if you can get wagner brand or a1cardone. they're still going to be nissin BUT these are the companies that offer a warranty. wagner especially; they offer a lifetime warranty on their pads/calipers (and they're pretty good too if you don't want to get a separate set of pads; get a loaded caliper)

i think id want hawk or green stuff

i seen a2cardone yesterday when searching, its like $150 each instead of for both
you got hook up?

hey tim, i am just curious... what if u wanted to use stainless steel brake lines? would the accord brake hose bolt up the the legend caliper??

[timot_one]

Yup.  I used my stock brake lines.  I'm probably going to upgrade the lines when I do my brakes again this summer.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

yeah id say upgrade would be worth it with stainless steel lines
Tim. what brake pads you would recomend? hawk or maybe something else (green stuff maybe)
and what brand of SS brake lines

[timot_one]

I have the Brembo Sport pads on my car right now.  Hawk HPS are good, but they create a TON of brake dust.  EBC Greenstuff is also a good choice.  I believe that's what Skippy is currently running on his car.  For brake lines, Goodridge makes lines for our cars.  They're pretty well known lines.

ok. i think i know a girl who works for one of their distributors. might get hook up for them

found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Tru ... 240%3A1318

thats what we need right Tim? or we need one for GS?

roughly $400 for brake upgrade. hmmm
thats for brake lines, calipers, pads.

can i use my stock rotors?

[suleman_manji]

yes i got hook up; through oreily's, XL Parts, carquest, BAP, and a few others around Houston because of my work (if i were to buy them for ya'll you guys would have to pay the core charge because they wouldn't get any core back lol)

[thisaznboi88]

hey pm me from price. I might get some later once I find some extra $$

[timot_one]

Yes Misha.  Those are the brake lines you would use.  You can use your stock rotors if you want.  As I said in my OP, if you have a V6, there is no need to get different rotors.  It's only the i4 owners that have to get different rotors.  Remember though, with a V6, you must swap sides with the calipers so they will fit properly.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

swap sides. so left legen caliper will go on right side on accord and wise vera?
