I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

legend rotors and nsx calipers

Post by 1bar_ek » October 12, 2005

I have a 98 civic dx hatchback, with a built gsr motor + t3/to4e, and I want more stopping power. I know the dx rotors are small, and i want to upgrade for bigger. I don't really want to spend a lot of money for the aftermarket ones. I was wondering if the acura legend rotors and nsx calipers would work instead??

I just got a set of 92-95 rears and have GSR fronts. I plan on doing stainless lines, slotted rotors, etc.

Do you road race or drag? I have heard of people doing NSX calipers, but I don't know what's involved in the install.

It's for my street car. It's my daily driver and I have over 300+ hp, so I just want more stopping power.

I believe you have to run 17's with NSX calipers, keep that in mind, thats why I want to do GSR's.

i think its 16's, i will have to verify that, but it would certainly also depend on the wheel design

gsr front/rear, good pads, rotors, ss lines, upgraded b.booster, m/c, and GOOD TIRES will be plenty.
