just make sure the bleeder screw is facing upwards.

I just realized I read the OP wrong the first time. I think.


Just to clear it up: If it were an i4 application, I wouldn't need to get the bracket.

so if its v6 application you do need braket?

I'll try to make things easier.  When you buy reconditioned calipers, you should get everything that's in 6/7.  That is exactly what I used for my swap.  Hopefully this clears things up.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

6/7 gen or what? sorry for stupid questions

found brake lines for $115 shipped on amazon(goodridge)

[timot_one]

In the picture I posted, find #6 and #7.  In that box is everything that I used from the Legend calipers for my swap.  I'm not sure which bracket you're asking about, but if you're asking about the one directly below the #6/7 label, I used the one that came with the Legend and did not reuse my Accord one.

[suleman_manji]

Oh ok so you did get the loaded caliper. I'm having a great time trying to figure out who has the rotors/calipers.

ok got it. didnt see pic couse it didnt show up at work couse of firewall

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

got mine today


what do i need those long studs for and whats those metal brakets for? i asume it has to do with brake pads but dont see how it goes in

[Rustywaffle]

hey good to see u got them man...

the long studs go through the mounting bracket, and the rubber squishy piece goes on that as well... and the small bolt is the caliper bolt.... and the small bolt threads into that other stud through the caliper..

and the brackets... just take a look at the way yours are mounted on the car now... and just replace them with the new ones..

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

yeah looked in manual


thanks to Sean for hooking me up

they are drying right now. painted them red

pads should be here tomorrow

[timot_one]

Hmmmm.  Mine came with brackets so I just bolted those on in place of the OEM Accord calipers.

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

hope stock braket works. otherwise ill have to find one for GS

[AV6NHBP6SPD]

Tim. what brand rotors would you recomend?
i think when i asked for my dads accord. honda said baer or something brand that is good?
maybe ill go with brembos blanks but maybe something i can get in retail autoparts store since i need it fast

[timot_one]

Brembo or EBC.  That's just my opinion though.
