Ok, so here is my situation:

I have 07 V6 6MT Sedan
I ordered brembo blanks, and brembo performance pads for Legend GS (tirerack)
I ordered GS calipers from pepoys, they didn't come with mounting brackets... :sad:

Accord Caliper brackets do not fit over Legend rotors, which are a bit thicker/beefier...so as of right now I can't use new brembo stuff I ordered...

and to top it all off, the new legend calipers are already rusting!  definitely should have had Paul paint them for me before-hand.

Will the Legend brackets solve my problem?

Thank you in advance!

damn bro I feel your pain. I am in the same situation but not as deep. Stupid honda had to give the 6MT sedan smaller brakes then the 6mt coupe. I am talking to someone about how The 6Mt coupe brackets will work with the 6Mt sedan calipers thus giving it more room and you can use 11.8in rotors instead of the 11.1in rotors.

As I told you before the legend rotors are the issue not the brackets.

I know Mike, thanks for your help.  I just wanted to see if there is anyone out there who has the same car, and is running all the legend parts...


If my set up will work with the Legend brackets, you can have my V6 6MT bracket!

I already have the sedan 6mt brackets. I need the coupe 6mt brackets lol. How large are the GS rotors? If you can fit 11.8in I can sell your mine. If not the SEARCH goes on for those REMAN brackets *part # 141416*

Why don't you just get Accord Brembo blanks?  The V6 coupe guys just reused their OEM rotors.

i think the problem is that he has a sedan 6mt. That y the size doesn't work out with the GS rotors. I could be wrong.

I would but, I don't think tirerack will take the legend rotors back.  Plus after feeling the legend rotors, you wouldn't want to trade them for the accord anyway...the diameter seems to be the same, but the wall thickness is at least a 1/4 of an inch thicker.  I am pretty tough on my brakes, so having the beefier rotor with the dual piston calipers is a win-win.


I wonder if the coupe brackets are a little wider and can fit the legend rotors...line of thought being that if the bracket is bigger to accommodate the diameter of the bigger coupe rotor, maybe it'll fit the legends rotors too... my only concern with this is that the coupe may have same thickness as sedan, so Im still f'd


I wish I knew how to read those diagrams that I have seen posted that show the measurements of the rotors and stuff, totally greek to me

Here the measurement of the Coupe 6mt

Here is the measurement of the Sedan 6mt

I hope that helps. The coupe are thicker by 2mm

I'd still recommend that you do what the coupe guys do and stick with what you know works.  Don't forget your Accord rotors are used and the Legend rotors are new.  If you're worried about Tire Rack not taking the Legend rotors back, you can sell them privately.  I need to use Legend rotors, so I will buy them off of you so you can buy the correct rotors for your car.

I agree with tim. Save yourself the headache. Just smack your OEM rotors on and call it a day. Make sure to bleed the system a little bit just incase any air bubble form.

Cool thanks, here is the Legend measurement...looks to be damn close to the sedans, I just don't know what the "HUB REG" means...I had no problem putting the legend rotors on... so the legend rotors should fit the sedan v6 6mt...MAYBE THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG ROTORS!!!  wtf!

based off the link, the coupes are like 5mm thicker, and the outer diameter is like 8mm more...So they are definitely bigger.  I guess I am going to try to find out tomorrow if these rotors I have are even the right ones for any of these applications.



Thanks Tim...that would be awesome if you want to do that.  let me first find out if these are the right rotors for the legend.  if I end up having to re order the rotors, I am going to order the coupe ones, and get the coupe brackets...after seeing those "charts" they are definately bigger and beefier...wouldn't it make sense to put the same ones on the sedan, especially since it is bigger and heavier???

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.

listen to the man. I was speaking to him about this earlier. I also found the site that sell the brackets for 22 bucks. YAY

Legend brackets bolt up to the coupe 5at's not sure about the 6mt

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!

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

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.

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.

its not sold by honda. It is made by A1 Cardone part # 141416

use code ssawinner09 to get 10% off free shipping for stuff 50+

Call them first because I think I bought the last 2.

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?

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.

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!
