There's a jack point almost dead center in the front. Under the motor mount I think. If you look under, you can't miss it. It's like a V-shaped bulge on the frame.

The Legend calipers only need to be reversed. Use the left caliper for your right side and right caliper for your left side. Not sure what year.

i can't remember the model numbers for the calipers, but you'd find them with a search. rockauto.com had a great price on them when I did the swap.

Search button FTW

Front Calipers that should work:
93-95 Legend LS Coupe (40mm and 38mm)
94-95 Legend GS Sedan
91-96 NSX (40mm and 36mm)

You probably can but they probably arent the dual piston

Plus that old of a car i wouldnt use any way without rebuilding them at min. Just save yourself the headache and get a set of rebuilts for like 60 bucks each

Do you have a jack that goes high? My small shitty jack couldn't get the wheels off the ground. I have no drop though

I use a block of wood on long reach lifts-
to reduce the distance from frame to lifting head, and spread the load across the frame lifting point

Be sure to use a jackstand under the main frame rail on each side of the car!!
being slowly crushed to death really sucks,

there is a rear lift point as well, just look for a V shaped thing sticking down
and you will need a few wood blocks there

Legend caliper part# raybestos FRC10627 and FRC10628 Left and right calipers (except we run them opposite)
that will cross referance to other brands, and its the kragen listing on page 3 of calipers for a 95 legend LS-Coupe (dual piston and closest together in size-best for us)

when a price says core charge 30-40 50 dollars- thats EACH and you pay that up front When you bring back a set of calipers its returned to you.
If having them shipped, consider return cost
Kragen will price match its web site at the store- order them next day instead of 2 weeks and take the return at the store- give instant refund back to credit card
Sweet deal

There is no prob returning TL calipers, as they consider them more sellable!

Get 2 qts DOT4 brake fluid and a $2 metal oil squirt can to prefill the calipers-
saves time later and gets fluid in them to prevent rubber seal damage with initial movement on air bleeding
