I would like to have 4*114.3 so I could fit some 15" Honda wheels to my 3G. I already have two spare sets, one has brand new tyres on it so it would be nice to make use of them.
Can I simply bolt parts on from a generation one Honda Legend? My car has four wheel discs with twin piston calipers at the front.
maybe
im not sure one of the other guys prolly could answer that
but you might get spacers there arent recommended though
i ran into that problem....so i got some acura fat fives....they are our lug type and come in a 15 inch rim.

I'm pretty sure the Legends have bigger rotors up front. So you'd probably have to upgrade to Legend brakes all around to if you want to just do a bolt-on conversion. That would also mean new steering knuckles to take the Legend calipers.
It would be a ton of work and modification just for wheels. It would be cheaper, and less time consuming to find a set of 4x100 Honda 15's. There's plenty of different styles out there.
Legend_master has installed Legend brakes on his car. So if you really wanted to do this badly, figure out how to get the Legend hubs to work, and follow his guide for installing the brakes (except for redrilling the rotors, since you'll already have the 4x114).
Compare hub wheel bearing sizes and spline count with other hondas and see if anything matches up.
yeah the rear legend fits...i remember some guy used it to get his rear disks in...but he said he had coil overs because the rear was too high and he also got lucky because he had thoes tuner rims that have the 4x100 and 4x114 bolt pastern

I have been looking around at the JY and I believe a full front and rear Legend suspension and brake swap is possible. I would not use the legend struts and springs just the knuckle and brakes. They are almost identical in design. If this was pulled off, you would have 11" rotors upfront and 10.3" rotors in the rear (plus a readily available rear disk swap). You would have to upgrade to the 4x114 wheels.
someone find out if this is possible lol im totally down for some rear disk brakes plus my wheels are 4 x100 and 4x114
Hey do you have an exact list of parts I would need to get from a Legend? I have no knowledge in this areaOriginally Posted by Legend_master
Assume that I'll use Legend calipers.
Sounds like a good upgrade, I have 9" discs in the front and slightly smaller in the rear.

I cannot guarantee that it will work, because I have not done it yet. I dont know if you would have to use the Accord or Legend Upper and lower control arms. You would have to use the Legend hubs, spindles, calipers, and rotors. If I ever get antoehr 3gee I will try it, but my current setup is perfect.
More questions! :P
We have 2.0, 2.0 Turbo, 2.5 and 2.7 Legend Sedans and 2.7 Coupes. I guess I should be looking for a 2.7 model?
Also would the Legend calipers be at least as good as the twin piston calipers on my 3G? If not I could track down some H22A/F20B DOHC versions.
Well we have coupes and sedans here, but we do not have the turbo sedan as you do. The 86-88 Legend sedans came with a funky rear suspension here that would not work with our cars. All the other models here look like they do. You can visually inspect your suspension and tell if it is the same. As for the dual piston calipers I am not sure how effective they are, but keep in mind they are 20+ year old technology. Check out my front 11" rotor upgrade, that might be right up your alley.
