I've just installed a pair of 95 Legend GSR on my 97 EK4-VTI. I used the 11" rotors and 3mm milled brackets from FastBrakes and also put a 1" MC from the 98 Integra GSR. The pads are EBC yellows, same size of the EK9.
I'm still beding the pads but the difference is huge, I'm as happy as a boy who discovered ***.
I recomend to everyone, is a great upgrade and you don't have to sell your body to pay for.

Brackets: USD120.00
Calipers: USD 388,00 with shipping to Brazil.
Rotors drilled to 4x100: USD 130.00
1" MC: USD 130.00

They sad at FastBrakes that there is no need to change the MC. My stock one was 15/16, but I wanted a harder feel at the pedal.

Sorry, is said, not sad.
 
all good, Edu you can edit and delete your posts to fix grammatical errors:nice:
 
thanks for the info.
i will have to look into that. i am currently looking at doing some upgrades on my coupe
 
There is one important thing that I forgot to say, it's about bleeding. Originaly those calipers are made to stay behind the brake disc, not in front as in our case, it means that in our cars they are placed up side down. So, in order to bleed them you must take them outside, put the calipers on the right position and do the bleeding, without that it will be impossible to remove all the air of the system. Don't try to be smart and put the right caliper on the left position and vice versa. The pistons have different diameters and must bite on that order, inverting the caliper you will make the bleeding easier and the braking harder.
 
Great news thanks for sharing! :nice:

Can I ask a noobish question?:(( What does it mean by 2 pot, 4 pot and 6 pot etc?
 
The number of pistons in the caliper i.e 2pot has 2pistons
 
im running 282mm rotors mz zr and prelude calipers
very good setup
 
Hi too all, I'm new in this forum, I live in Panama and I have a 99 EK4 4Dr, some questions, there only one piston in the OEM brakes right?

where can I find this brakes from the LEGEND? do you suggest buying them on the dealer?

I bought from FastBrakes because you have to mill the brackets and redrill the disc.
 
there site is not online right now? because I have been trying and couldnt get log on
 
you can use nsx calipers as well

ive been running legend calipers now for about 4 years, cant remember what model legend there for but absolute no modification was required, bolted straight on with legend carriers they came with
