i have heard of people putting legend and prelude rotors on their tegs (having them redrilled) and using type R calipers... what are some other options?

do the ITR calipers bolt onto the stock brackets? how about legend calipers - how much work is involved? i am almost due for a brake job and i wanna upgrade.

do i have to do my rear brakes and prop valve too or am i okay with just doing the front brakes?

last but not least, do i have to go with rims larger than 14" LS upgrade wheels? i am getting 16's in the spring but if i cant use my 14's ill wait on the brake upgrade.

thanks in adavance! :thumbup:

 

save time/money just junk it!

hahah man on man why you gotta fawk with me? hahahah :Fawk:

 

lol, you chitted on me on my leathers pop:fawk:

 

I heard of just an aftermarket kit to increase "pretty much any asian imports" brakes, it was like new calipers rotors and brake pads for something like 600 dollars? (I dont particularly remember), they did it on a civic on the show, but I'm sure it'd probably work on an integ... sorry I dont really remember more details, but hope it helps.

 

yeah i dont wanna go with an expensive big brake kit - i dont need that much stopping power i just want some better bite. i work at a parts warehouse so i can get oe replacement parts pretty cheap. im gonna go with prelude or legend (are they the same) rotors and ITR or legend calipers. ill probably upgrade my lines while im at it.

 

Legend rotors are the same size as the ITR rotors, but they too are 5-lug, you'd have to get them redrilled to 4x100. ITR calipers will bolt up into the stock caliper brackets, however, you WILL need at least 15" wheels for it to fit correctly.

I know one or two teg owners who fabricated a bracket to fit NSX calipers onto their Legend/ITR rotors. You could look into that as well.

 

oh yea, if you're going to upgrade the fronts, that will screw up your brake bias. you may want to get slightly larger rotors in the rear. those kits are fairly cheap too.

 

thanks for the help. a friend of mine knows a guy that has a wrecked legend stashed in his back yard, im gonna get the calipers from him, rebuild them, and powdercoat 'em.

as for the rotors, i havent made a decision yet. i heard a rumor that you can get 4x100 13" rotors from fastbrakes.com but i didnt see them anyplace on the site. if i dont find them, i saw on teamintegra that you can use 4 lug prelude rotors (4x114) and redrill them 4x100. im assuming any machine shop will do this?

thanks for throwin in the 15" rim fact, i wasnt sure about that and it was my next step for research. im gonna have to hold off on the conversion til i have a little extra money saved up for some new rims (i was gonna get 16's this spring anyway.)

if there is anything else i am leaving out, throw it in for me, please. ill try to keep updates maybe throw in a pic or 2 of my calipers after i get them powdercoated and finished pics.
