does swapping sides do anything to the function of the caliper though?

Do you know where I can find out the size of the rotors?

has no harm in function whatsoever.. if i can lock up 18s with brand new tires doing like 50-60 then damn right they working

size of rotors are engraved on the side of the rotor.
i can tell just by looking at it.

how do i know if it'll work? I checked the 4th gen prelude vtec rotors and the 6th gen accord V6 rotors and the part numbers dont match up. does this mean it's not possible?

dood, your jumping the entire concept. my stock rotors and the rotors from a V6 arent going to match up..think about it...

its the fact that its the same car the same everything and since the V6 comes with those rotors then i have no problem bolting them on to my car ..get it?

so now what im saying is if the V6 6th gen comes with 11" rotors since the i4 doesnt then boom you can do it, just that instead of using V6 rotors because they are 5lug, you are using 4th gen prelude Vtec which are the size you want but are also 4lug.. get it ??

oh! ok i get it hahah, but will the caliper bolt up to the stock mounting points though? How did you find out if they would mount up to yours before u made the purchaes?

I can't seem to find any site that tells me how big oem rotors are. would you know where?

ok here's the click --> there was a post of someone doing the mod to their prelude on hondatech so the same calipers off a NSX could be bolted to a prelude, and those same calipers can be bolted to a TypeR, regardless the click was that anything that had 11.2 stock size rotors has the same bolt size and distance for the calipers to bolt up.. so if the V6 accord had 11.2 rotors then that means that any 5th gen accord could too. now if the V6 is 11.2 i doubt u should have a problem. cant garantee anything man, but consider yourself the first 6th gen accord to try..

if i was to just use a tape measure to measure the diameter of the rotor on the 6th gen v6 would that be enough? I mean if i measured it and it was between 11.1 adn 11.3 then I'd assume that it's big enough.

actually, couldn't i just see if a 5th gen accord caliper would bolt onto my car? if that works, then the legend should fit w/o any problems right?
