ok ive read a bunch of threads on caliper upgrades and still i just want to make sure about a few things i couldnt find

and so far ive bought two 95 NSX calipers from autozone

and two 95-96 prelude vtec rotors

now i understand that a certain bracket called 23T is needed to fit to my 99 2.3 cl...am i wrong about this

my question is where do i get this bracket and what car is it off of...will i have to buy a whole caliper set to get the bracket or just the bracket alone

and also when i get pads...what car do i order than from a NSX CL LEgend etc..???

thanks very much

will these brackets work

 

This is new to me. I've only seen NSX brakes on ITR's which are 5 lug and they have to flip the calipers upside down and put them on opposite sides for them to work since the brake lines don't match up.

Do the Prelude rotors allow you to use a 4 lug set-up with the NSX calipers?

 

the Calipers have nothing to do with 4 or 5 lug, that's your rotors.....but yes NSX calipers work for our cars, from what i have read u need the braket from a 3.0 if yours is a 2.3....I might be doing this soon, but lack of funds

 

I havent seen it on a 1st gen but I seen it done on a 2nd gen cl

 

Dosent Moto have it done??

 

You need the brackets from a 3.0 CL

 

Yes, obviously... but the rotor has to be the correct thickness to work properly with the calipers. I'm not for sure, but I thought only the Legend had rotors that would work with the NSX calipers since they're essentially the same brakes.

I remember reading that the NSX calipers don't squeeze with equal pressure between the 4 pistons. The 1st two pistons apply more pressure than the 2nd two, so when they're flipped they don't work as they were designed to. Again I'm for sure, so this might no hurt performance at all. Something worth checking into, though.

It would cool to see a CL with NSX brakes. Hope it works out for you guys.

 

I tried to search for the other tread that talked about the braket that was needed, But i believe the 3.0 braket and rotors are the right thickness for them

 

94-96 Legend Type II Calipers (Dual Pistons), 93 Legend (Single Piston)
92-96 Prelude VTEC Rotors
94-96 VTEC Prelude, 91-95 Legend, 97-99 3.0 CL - Sources for 23t brackets

94-97 Accord V6 Wagon, TL, CL - Sources for 25t brackets
not that i know why you need 25t brackets.
i forget why i bothered to save this info

 

so im guessing you would need legend pads too...

 

No civic pads, DUH!

 

 

 

 

 

So with the 3.0 you DONT need different brackets, right?

 

 

The first one will work. SW (station wagon) will not. SW are 25t.

 

Somebody remembered me!

 

You were actually the first person I thought of when I saw this thread.

 

lol.

 

Me too

 

i feel so special. :gheylaugh:

 

 

so did u finish it or what?

 

i have all the parts im installing them this weekend if it doesnt rain

 

post pics and info...really interested in this..

how much did it all run you?

 

it was alot...but i went all out...i bought very expensive rotors...ive been waiting to put the shit on my car and get a camera...ill do it asap

 

nice...only the best for the CL

im gonna go all out for the brakes too...gonna be mint

 

i would like to reveal complete details right now but id rather do it with pics and im not even sure if my setup is gonna workout right

 

pics would be best, less confusing...hope it works out for you

then i can take a crack at it....except im gonna use legend type II calipers instead of NSX ones..

 

Too back we can't make the rear brakes pretty too.

 

gluck soldier

 

you can't do the rear too? just the front?

 

 

Just the fronts beotch, do what you're told DONKEY PUNCH!

 

please post picture and tell us all the issue u encounter. I'll love to have somekinda NSX parts on this car.

 

i posted over in motos thread but i'll post here again..

im gonna do the rotor over hub conversion and i know i need 98 2.3CL hubs but i was wondering if i can use 98 accord 4cyl hubs?

 

^i'm interest in that too. its so hard just trying to get my rotor resurface.
