Installation notes

Yes — the front calipers from a 1994-1995 Acura Legend GS (KA7) fit a 1998-2002 Honda Accord 4-cylinder (CG) when mounted on a 23T V6 bracket with 11.1-inch 4-lug rotors from a 4th-generation Prelude VTEC. The 6thGenAccord 'Legend GS brake swap information thread' (F23A1AT) recommends this combination and explains the bracket thicknesses. In another thread, Jarrett names the 1993-1995 Legend coupe and 1994-1995 Legend GS sedan calipers as the best two-piston option. He notes they are a bigger gain over the 4-cylinder brakes than over the V6 brakes. The forum's 'Brake Upgrade Options' thread lists the same combination (Prelude rotors, Legend calipers, V6 brackets).
Caution

Important caveats

  • The stock 4-cylinder caliper bracket is not compatible; you need a V6-type bracket.
  • Use a 23T bracket for the 23 mm Prelude rotor; the Legend's 28T bracket over-extends the pistons and can damage the dust boots.
  • The Legend GS bracket bolts are too long for the 4-cylinder knuckle.
  • On V6 cars this is not a clear upgrade: one member calculates the Legend caliper's piston area as slightly below the V6 single-piston caliper's.
  • No OEM part numbers were confirmed for this entry.
