Will be changing out rear calipers. Will the legend calipers fit the rear?

 

Unless you have a problem with them, just keep the OEM ones. I believe the legend used the same rear calipers.

Since something like 80% of your braking is performed at the front of the vehicle, there isn't much improvement seen from upgrading the rears.

 

I think he means to say will the legend calipers mount to the rear calipers?
Nick: I dont think so You will need a custom mounting bracket for the caliper for it to fit properly.

I think that if my brakes get upgraded later I will just put Legends up front. and then try to get the OEM front ones mounted to the rear.

 

Just going for preventative maintenance.

But if I can mount the fronts to the rear and replace the fronts withdrew legend calipers that would be something I would do.

 

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! fronts are way different than rears

use correct TL rears

see my many brake thread instructions on bleeding after caliper install

 

Oh really?
Well that's good to know.
I always just wondered if something like that would be possible.

 

It is an interesting idea. If the brackets fit or can be retro fitted it would make a lot of sense and save some pennies and better braking.....

 

more rear brake would cause the car to come around--ie: spin out under hard braking
current percentage is about 70/30 brake bias

see race cars lock up the rears and go straight off into the wall??
too much rear bias

 

want better braking? buy badazz Front rotors and maker matched pads
I use racingbrake.com 1 piece slotted rotors, legend calipers, and ss brake lines
its a stopping machine

keep brake fluid flushed- replace every year to 3 years max!!
