Get the legend calipers, thats what everyone is doing.

Sorry for the ignorance. Legend?? is this a junk yard or ebay item. I read something about a 2 piston Vs the stock 1 piston. Same thing??? Thanks for your help

Yes, do a search for legend calipers and you'll see several threads with part numbers. The calipers are off a 95 Legend LC Coupe and have 2 pistons instead of the 1 ours comes stock. I just paid $165 shipped - much cheaper than the $1,500+ or so you'll spend on big kits.

thats the way to go-
I have posted the part numbers and instructions many times- just use the search for post by me and legend calipers

the 2 piston set up is awesome- bolts right up and is all the brake torque the average driver needs, unless racing on the track and using race tires on your car- those will handle even more brakes
kragen has the calipers for under 75 each rebuilt
Many gen2 are due for them anyway- especially if you didnt keep up the yearly brake fluid changes
parts dont last forever and for the same exact price as standard TL calipers----no brainer there!

the 4 pot system is made by Brembo for the 6 speed gen3 TL-
if you want to go crazy there is a 6 pot system- you can be the awesome autocrosser or mountain mental case with those, the right tires on some bigger wider rims- with the proper rotors and pads to be able to use the brakes....
I am thinking racing slicks for tires

Thanks for the input. Found the threads. Some new slotted rotors and those calipers with 18's sound awesome. Thanks.

Slotted rotors and the 18s increase your stopping power significantly - I ordered the calipers and will have them on this weekend. There is a coupon code for rockauto.com if you want it - search around the caliper threads and you'll find it - it's worth about $5 off your order.

but whats the shipping?

- kragen- unless they caught on- and raised the price- was 72.99 each plus 30$ refundable core charge
They order from warehouse for next day pickup and return the cores to the local store
I admit to having mine shipped here- and it took over a week to process and get to my door- what a pain- the store return went easy though!!

Here's the breakdown:

$54.79 for caliper, $30.00 core, for a total of $84.79 each. Shipping was $21.75 and the discount code is good for exactly $5.48. Shipping to Atlanta was 3 days - ordered yesterday morning and I'll have them tomorrow. Core return is prepaid - I believe.
