I was just wondering what kind of brake upgrades you guys would recommend. I've heard of using stock rotors with Prelude Vtec calipers, I've also read something about Vigor full brake kit. I'm just a little confused on what to use and what not to use, what parts I would need for whatever swap and/or upgrade. I was originally thinking using either TAS Auto drilled and slotted stock sized rotors, stainless lines, Prelude Vtec calipers, and upgraded pads. Thoughts?

I went the Vigor route. I believe the rotors are thicker than the wagon's. Either option is great though. But make sure you DON'T mix rotors and Caliper brackets wagon/vigor otherwise something won't line up.
But you'll need Vigor Rotors, Pads, Calipers w/ brackets and you should probably at a minimum buy new brake lines if yours are original. I upgraded and bought SS lines front and back since mine had over 150k on them.

So you don't suggest using Prelude calipers? What makes the Vigor set-up so good?

So, Legend calipers will bolt up onto my current rotor? I would also need the mounting bracket for the calipers as well, correct? And would I have to do any modification to make the brackets bolt up?

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

So, I just got done reading the stickies and a couple of posts in the forum and I must say.........I'm as confused as ever. There are a bunch of people saying that Legend calipers are bad because of the bleeder valve bring in the wrong place, others say it is good because all you'd have to do is take off the caliper to bleed the valves correctly. Others say NSX calipers are a great set-up, but they're pretty costly. Then there's the Vigor and the CRV......All very annoying when you're trying to figure out what is a good set-up. Here's what I want, a better stopping power caliper for my car that I could just bolt right up to my stock rotor. I will probably swap the rotor for a stock sized Brembo or another drilled and slotted rotor, if need be. Any thoughts?

Allows you to use larger 11.2" rotors and Vtec prelude calipers
The caliper brackets need to be 23T.

You can't bolt these up to stock rotors, you need to get the Vigor rotors. I found some Brembo blanks online for 40 bucks each back in Apr. 2008. It was about 98 shipped if I recall. The calipers were 150 remanufactured for both w/ the trade in of a core of two JY ones. The SS line kit for all 6 lines since I've got rear disc w/ ABS was about 115 shipped. Then finally the Hawk HPS pads I went with were about 60 bucks at PepBoys.
