so for christmas yesterday my dad got me some nsx calipers but he could only get me 2 left ones would it be a problem to just use two left ones or would i need a right one. He said he couldnt find a right one. maybe you guys could show me where to pick up a right one if needed. thanks and happy holidays

 

you can rotate it and it will work fine, just the bleeder screw will be in the wrong spot, I suggest getting a vacuum bleeder kit.

 

wont wont. bleeder screw will be on the bottom. and ull have an air pocket on the top. not sure if u can do this, but drill and tap a hole and put in a bleeder screw so u got one on top and on bottom, that way u can use the caliper.

 

How will that work, I would not even try it.
The pistons are 2 diff sizes?
Brakes are something you do not wanna F%^K with!
Your dad bought u 2 of the same side cuz that was all that was available from rock-auto for months now..

 

or u can do this.
left nsx caliper goes the the right rotor
now since u still got another left caliper, put that on the left rotor but do not bolt it down. put it 180deg from the oem bolting position, bleed it, then take it off teh caliper adn bolt it down where u would normally bolt it down. that way the bleeder screw is still on teh bottom but all the air is out.

 

Hmmmm, I wouldnt jerry-rig it. Return one of them and get the right caliper.

 

anyone know where to get one? that wont be too expensive?

 

do what Rajca said.itshould work.

 

jimmy rigging brakes is a recipe for disaster folks

 

yea i would rather just do it right now

 

But driving on bad tires

 

^ouch. lmao

 

thankewverrrrrymuch


I'll be here all week tip your waitressess

 

+1

 

go on car-parts.com and search there.
They search junkyards

 

that is an awesome gift though. just keep looking for a right one

 

I'm not sure on the NSX calipers, but on the legend calipers have different size pistons so they are made to work one direction, and can act funny if put on backwards. You might want to check the diameter of the pistons, if different, don't mount it on the wrong side, will cause your braking to get worse, not better.

 

its ok to flip the nsx/legend calipers. ppl have been having great success with the calipers

 

I am about to pick up some front 96 nsx calipers, what pads do you currently have in them, would they fit pads from the OE calipers?

I'm just asking to figure out if I should get loaded calipers or semi and get my own pads, I just got hawks HPS pads for the OE doh!

Can anyone with this current setup chime in? thanks

 

I don't have a 2G CL, but I know your Hawk pads won't fit the NSX calipers.

I run ceramic pads just because they're nearly dust free.

 

CL Pads will work with the NSX calipers, I repeat CL Pads will work with NSX calipers.

















This has been a saving moment brought to you by the greatest black man on earth.

 

man everyone giving me diff info lol

It does not answer your question; however, I'm using the Hawk HB366F.681 HPS pads in my Legend calipers. They were the same pads I transferred from my OEM single pot calipers when I upgraded to the Legends, IIRC, back in 08.

 

I tried to put a spare set of NSX pads on my cousins '01 TL and found they're different. For one, the NSX pads are quite a bit thicker than the TL's. From what I've read, the 2g TL and CL have the same brake system.

You can check the part numbers, but I doubt you'll find any that match.

The only thing I can think of, is that the CL pad is thinner so it might slide in. I don't remember if the overall shape is the same. So I take that back. CL pads might fit the NSX calipers.
