I have to try and remember the name of the deli. That place was delicious.

I can back up what Dave said, we had a pretty BFH and it did nothing. We took turns whailing away on it and got no where. Thankfully we had those 2 bolts laying around or else Dav would have been driving home with half a GS swap lol.

This. My car never gives up easily. It always presents problems. You should know this Tim.

Well, when you start doing engine builds and stuff, then yeah.

Even before that, my car has fought me a lot.

I read this entire thread, but would just like to verify the parts required for the Legend GS swap. I have a 2005 CM5 (i4 Sedan LX). I plan to buy all OEM parts from the local Acura stealership since I, fortunately, know people that work there and could potentially receive a discount.

Parts Needed:
1994-1995 OEM Legend GS Calipers - Loaded (i.e. includes brake pads)
1994-1995 OEM Legend Brake rotors

Please correct me if that list is completely incorrect and/or whether I require additional parts (e.g. brackets, etc.). BTW, does anyone know the exact OEM part numbers? Thanks!

Calipers come with brackets. The OEM part numbers are:

L Caliper - 45230-SP0-E01
R Caliper - 45210-SP0-E01
Rotors - 45251-SP0-E00

I updated the OP with all appropriate OEM part numbers.

Quick question for those of you who have done this swap.. My calipers are making a creaking noise. Happens with the car on or off moving or not. If I apply the brakes lightly there is no noise but, the more I get on the pedal it creaks. Its coming from the calipers for sure. I've read that it can be cause by the build up of brake dust allowing the pistons to move a little bit on the pads but, I'm not sure. There has been no change in the performance of the brakes it still stops very very well.

Whoa, thanks for the info Mike! Since I do plan to swap out the rotors & pads for new anyway, might as well "upgrade", right?? I just hope shipping to HI isn't horrendous Huh?
