Ok, its time to do some brake work. I'm getting ready to send out for Rotora Rotors and Pads. I was thinking about doing the calipers at the same time. What does everyone think? Should I stay stock? Pick up Legend or NSX Calipers? Or hold for a bit longer and go with a BBK?

Also if anyone has any pictures of what the NSX/Legend Calipers look like please post. On the car or just sitting out it doesn't matter.

Thanks!

I am about to have my brakes done to. Let me know the end result on the job so i can maybe follow ur setup as well.. Also how much do you think this will cost you?

i have legend calipers and rotora slotted rotors

Nightpoison

VIP can you supply us with some photos of the finished setup? Also what do you think about your setup?

To be honest I'm too lazy to take off the wheel to take pics. But when I got my brakes done I got rotora slotted rotors and pads, legend calipers, and stainless steel brake lines. They car stops much better overall.

NSX and Legend calipers are the same (the NSX caliper pots are slightly smaller).

Did the legend calipers bolt right up? Any mods? And do you stilluse the CL OEM size rotor?

Thanks

Legend/NSX calipers bolt right up. You use the stock CL rotors. From a recent post I made about upgrading to the Legend calipers, the consensus was that there is no benefit to upgrading so don't waste the money.

I can understand that. The improved braking feel/perceived performance could be attributed solely to the stainless lines.

so no change in stopping power? im thinking about getting my brakes done and i was going to buy this. http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...e=5003&PTSet=A
95 bucks a piece including pads.

bbk, imo they are worth every shiny penny

Just a waste of money from what others said in a recent brake thread. No added stopping power, no lessened rotor warping, nothing but a prettier looking caliper. Save the money for a BBK (which seems like a waste on a DD but others disagree) or get quality rotors and pads and call it a day.

how much is the price difference from upgrading rotors/pads than getting a bbk?

rp_guy

you can find a used bbk anywhere from $650 (rare) to $900 in the BM.. otherwise it's about $1500 new for just the front
