ok so i did a search for legend and nsx calipers...but nobody has actually done this...i have a nice set of two piston legned calipers that i was gonna use on my integra..but i sold it..so now im thinking about fitting them to the s2k...most likely i will have to purcahse legend sized rotors....but im not sure it the s2k rotors are the same as the legend rotors...maybe the caliper brackets mabe interchangeable..anybody have any info??

I doubt you'll gain anything from such a swap. Is there any particular reason you are after this swap?

Project SSAP1

main reason i want to do the swap is because i have the set of calipers sitting here...and i need to put them to good use...i ordered them last week when i had my teg and then i just bought the s2k..so i dont want to sell the calipers because it will take forever and i wont get what i paid..

So you want to put what may be inferior calipers on your car just so you can use them? Sounds like a really stupid reason to me.

Project SSAP1

wait wait wait...who said they are inferior calipers?? the 2 piston calipers that i have are def larger than the stock s2k calipers....so in no way is this stupid....only downside that i can see is that they might be a lil heavier

now if anybody has any info that can help let me know..thanks

I didn't say they were inferior, just that they may be and just because they're bigger doesn't mean they're better. The stock brakes are already pretty good and are designed to work with the other components of the brake system. Putting on another set of calipers that you don't really know much about just because you bought them and feel like you need to use them doesn't make sense. It sucks to waste money, but you mention that you may need to buy new rotors so you're talking about spending more money to make you feel better about the money you've already spent. Before you go around messing around with a part of the car that already works really well you should do more research on whether it is something you should really do. I've not heard of anybody doing this change because it's probably not worth doing. Put those calipers on ebay and get some money out of them and save up for a professional brake upgrade instead of putting more money into putting luxury car calipers on your new sports car.

FYI the Legend calipers are the same as the NSX calipers so how are these inferior to the S?

Project SSAP1

now that is some info that i can use...thank u..i guess i will keep what i have now..and sell the legend calipers...and i think the legend calipers r slightly bigger than the nsx calipers...its just the nsx calipers have more air cooling or something like that


hummm..i wonder if i can use those calipers for the rear??

wickerbill

Problem with putting them on the rear is that the parking brake assembly is built into the stock rear calipers. Put on front calipers from another car and you lose your parking brake. I don't know what you plan on doing with your car, but the stock brakes are already pretty good. Unless your planning on doing a lot of hard track time then your money is probably better spent elsewhere.

Isn't there already an issue with the stock calipers clearing the wheels due to the offset? If these are bigger calipers they may hit the wheels, unless hou have larger wheels with more clearance.
