A few terrible terrible pictures haha. I promis to get better ones. :)\

So far they are working fantastic. Modded them just like Legend did, although I could have taken less off of the caliper.

Calipers bolt on, but you have to grind down some of the sei brackets so that the piston can move back and forth. Also you have to cut or grind down the feet on the caliper so that they do not touch the rotor. BEsides that they are amazing...and a lot easier to get ahold of here in Gainesville.

If you use the legend caliper bracket,do you have to do any grinding or not.I'd have to buy new because there are no legends in the j/y around here.

I do not believe the legend caliper brackets work.

Only the legend coupes and later legend sedans have the nissin calipers that work. 86-88 sedan calipers are way different. The legend brackets bolt up with some bending/removal of the splash guard.

The caliper bracket would work, ONLY if you put a larger brake rotor on there.

The Civic EP3 hatchback rear discs are bigger. This might be something to check out.

Civic guys use these as an upgrade. Since the SE-i discs are the same as a Civic, these would fit our hub.

I actually picked up a set of those and tried I out. The combination of the sei suspension and legend brake caliper is to big. Those Ep3 rotors are 10.3, and that combo needs at least 10.9 or so. That's what led me to the 11" rear upgrade.

^Good info. And when I typed above I didnt mean that the feet didnt need to be cut at all, just meant they didnt need to be ground down so much. Just a little fyi.
