I heard about it being done on the 4th and 5th gen from early 90's legends, but I haven't the slighest clue whether there will be some custom fabrication required.

I'm sure its possible, but to be honest, why would you want to? You can spend the same amount or even less getting some bigger sized slotted cross-drilled aftermarket rotors that would provide better stopping power.

lol.. no i am not trying to be ghetto...:) i wish i had everything available... but my problem is availability...

now with the aftermarket ones.. do i have to change brake lines.. brake pot and other stuff.. or is just a straight swap?....

also... braided lines for the brakes... any difference from the stocks ones? i mean.. does it make a diff in performace ?

i just dropped of my accord for them to check my brakes cos there was a gap.. and a guy just drove off with it.. my goodness the short ram sound is beautiful... iwas there proud smiling.. like i just saw my kid walk for the first time... <not that i have any kids> :)

just rotors, no u dont have to change anything but the rotors themselves. as for steel braided lines, as you put pressure on your brake system, the brake fluid heats up. causing the brake lines to expand, which can cause inconsistant braking. steel braided withstands this expansion much better and creates an overall more reliable pedal response. on the visual side, they bling.

the legend calipers are dual piston unlike the single piston accord rotors, i would do them if i needed calipers, i think you have to use 5th gen v6 accord rotors, not sure tho

you can put vigor front rotor caliper combo no mods needed. dude just put cl front rotors and hubs and call it a day. you will not gain any thing over them...
