Installation notes
Yes — the dual-piston front calipers from a 1995 Acura Legend GS (KA7) fit a 2001-2003 Acura CL (YA4) on the stock brackets and stock-size rotors. In an AcuraZine 2G CL thread, brian6speed says 'Its a simple bolt on. You can even use your stock pads.' In a second CL thread, members say you can keep stock-size rotors, though they recommend resurfacing or replacing the old ones, and point out that only the GS calipers are dual-piston. In a 2G TL thread, zeta says the 1995 GS Legend calipers bolt directly to the 2G CL/TL caliper bracket. He gives the side-swap tip for getting the bleeder on top.
Caution
Important caveats
- Get 1995 Legend GS (two-piston) calipers; LS calipers are single-piston and give no gain.
- Swap sides (driver-side Legend caliper on the passenger side) so the bleeder sits on top; otherwise air is hard to bleed out.
- Use new crush washers on the hose bolt; one member had a small leak at first.
- Members suggest fresh rotors and pads, or resurfaced rotors, rather than reusing worn ones.
