94-95 LEGEND GS calipers

[Oldblueaccord]

okay so i think the rotors must have been from a 88-91 vw corrado. 92-95 went to five bolt pattern.

i looked at pictures of some on ebay and they look...close, maybe? kinda hard to tell from just looking at a picture. interesting possibility though.

dunno I look thru fastbrakes site but I couldnt match it up.

ALso I looked at the AEM kit too. MY last Summit racing cat they had the civic kit listed for like $280. AEM doesnt make it anymore so they newest Summit racing didnt have anything in or on there site. The caliper bracket needs to be thicker it seems for our car but the rotor is 12". You would need I guess 17' rims for it.

The bleed screw needs to be at the top of any caliper to be bled. Air travels to the top. Thats why they would need to be switched left to right to make them work if ever.

THis is bullshit. My SVX has calipers with the bleed valve located on the lower portion, it works fine. I've bled them before and it was just like any other brake job.

so Id stay away from Sabaru's

it gotta be at the top of the bore. maybe it has a cross over pipe I dunno. Dont tell people stupid shit Chicane they could get hurt.


I checked on those VW rotors and there really hard to get and about $70 bucks. But it something to look at. I missed out on that AEM deal I think summit had it list as $289 for the civic kit.

i have this little fantasy in my brain now of the nsx calipers and corrado rotors bolting up perfectly to the 3g hubs with no modifications






i know, i know...probably not.

It's not stupid shit, it's the truth. Secondly, they aren't going to get hurt. I've driven quite a few pieces of crap with soggy brake systems due to some air/moisture.... guess what? It still fucking stopped.

How old are you?

Cause in the world I live in an older person with some experience would know that spongy brakes are going to make everyone get hurt. Especially when they think their car is going to stop within a certain distance but wind up rear ending someone or going through an intersection cause of their poorly bled brake sysdtem.

24. My first car was a 1968 Dodge Charger with 4 wheel DRUM brakes, and fluid that looked like jello. It was nasty. But you know what? It still stopped.

My point is that if you know how to properly bleed brakes, the LOCATION of the little bleeder valve isn't going to make a damn difference. Like I said, my SVX's calipers are not on the top of the caliper, and they bled fine. My brakes are FANTASTIC... I'm willing to bet they're much better than the brakes on any 3g accord.

i got an aem big brake kit for the front, would it be worth spending the money for legend calipers with those rotors, (i have full sei brake setup now)

i don't know if they would line up with your rotors.

if you went with the legend calipers you would need to decide whether you wanted to deal with the bleed bolt being upside down, or having the piston stagger in the wrong direction.

i guess ill stay stock with the aem big break kit

Great link with pictures of the GS caliper plus a redrilled rotor. Not on our car but its something to think about. The write up is very good also.
