I am preparing to do a NSX caliper swap. My current calipers are the same size as the Integra Type R and have a 25T bracket.

I want to use NSX calipers and Legend rotors (28mm) So can I just use the NSX 28T caliper bracket with NSX calipers on the 28mm Legend rotors and not have to shim anything?

If I use the stock size 25T bracket on the NSX caliper can I just use the stock 25mm rotor and have a perfect fit aswell?

To my understanding, you can make a caliper fit a rotor depending on what bracket you use. If thats true, then by using a 25T bracket on calipers that are made to fit 28mm rotors (like Legend/NSX) you can make the (28mm) caliper fit a thinner (25mm) rotor properly. When I say properly, I mean without shimming or making the piston compress and lock 5mm.

This also makes me think that you can use a 28T bracket on NSX calipers and a 28mm rotor and not have to shim

Migs can you verify this, I know you are running 28mm rotors and NSX brakes but I'm not sure what bracket you are running.

Also, I thought that ITR rotors were 23mm? Then why does my bracket say 25T? Shouldn't it say 23T?
