check out some of these. cant beat those prices. even with my honda employee discount i couldnt beat these prices. if you buy these kits make sure you get the ones designed for the Nissin calipers.

so i guess no one has much interest in a kit that makes like 10x easier.

Eband27

expensive, isn't it?

Anhedonia

I would be if I didn't already buy 99 3.0 full front spindles/knuckles/hubs

Tehvine

I am glad you found that actually... considering how much you will spend depending on the junk yard you pull from. Those are all shiny new parts, definitely worth it and it is going on my list of things to buy in the coming month or two.

Also, I am guessing that we use Akebono in the front as well? I saw you discovered that we use those on the rear.

SupraManAG

wow matt. deff something for me to look for. those 12.5" rotor on my legend capilers would be fluppin awesome and those earls brake lines are a must have

as far as the recognition for our brakes. apparently none of these guys know anything about our 97 factory brakes because i dont hear anyone complaining.

most definitly is not. like i said even with my honda/acura employee discount i cant beat that price. and believe it or not junkyards are expensive.

Anhedonia

o0o lol.

Dicorp

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

yea thats a damn good price..when i did mine i paid more then that for sure

SupraManAG

i paid over $700 for mine. does anyone know what size the prelude vtec rotors are in size? diameter?

incredulous1

^ i think they're 11in diameter.

and id jump on the kit too. money is a big issue

Dicorp

11.1 "

davzilla

but the hubs are only like 60-75 bucks each from acura, where's the deal?

like for me 350 plus currency conversion and shipping to canada is gonna be way more than i paid

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

hubs are very expensive though. so are rotors.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

I think it's more for convenience becuase you get everything you need in a kit

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

thats true aswell.

davzilla

ah

purple3.0haze

ok i gotta be the n00b here and ask but, what is the purpose of a rotor over hub kit. whats the matter with the configuration of the rotors and hubs as they are right now, apart from size.

DoubleSh0t

iTrader: (1)

If you have a 98 or 99, it's already rotor over hub. The 97's were hub over rotor, which means the rotors have to be pressed on/off which is a big pain in the ass and not to mention expensive if you need new rotors.

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

yea if you have a 98-99 this thread doesnt apply to you. you guys are already ahead of the game.

Anhedonia

ive been at the party all along

incredulous1

but the 97's have the doper grill.

DoubleSh0t

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, except they're interchangeable so I have a 97 grille without shitty brakes.

incredulous1

we could swap brakes too... =(

Anhedonia

i like my grill the way it is?

another thing that draws me to this kit is that the company's warehouse is in Conneticut. finally i dont have to order parts from Cali. im just waiting for my new debit card and im ordering it immediately.

hopefully i can get them on this sunday so i can put all 4 of my new wheels on.

my hubs and bearings were so bad and caused so much play that the spokes on the wheels would smack the front calipers....and yea thats not good....

DaInFaMMuS1

i thought u were gonna get em in 5 lug?

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

nahhh i was never really that big into the 5-lug plan. it costed to much. and a little heavier too.

jarvas36

Okay so i did my search and came up with two different answers. So do we use the nissin or the akebono kit for the front? And just to clarify, we would use the akebono calipers for the rears right? Oh one more thing, I have the 3.0 so are these kits still any good to me.
