    Single pistons are the same, The legend 2 piston are the ones that you want.

        but remember in order to properly bleed the front brakes on the dual pistons you have to take them off and bleed them upside down side the come off a car with trailing calipers and our accords are leading

        there is a full sticky about it in the suspension/ brake section

            yeah the legend calipers have a upside down bleeder sequence. So I'd get the Vigor ones. Legend 2 piston's are like trying to find NSX calipers, incredibly hard to find....and $$$

              well it's a pick-n-pull place and they go by randomness. flat out, what part is it, this is how much. regardless of what it actually does or is

              they make more money crushing anyway

                  Trailing calipers: Legend

                  Leading Calipers: CB, NSX, ITR, Vigor, Prelude

                  The legend calipers will be very tedious to bleed since they will be up-side-down on our CB's.

                  The vigor calipers mated to some EBC green pads will work very very well.

                  You can go hardcore and pick up some NSX calipers and the brackets.

                  NSX leading caliper


                  Legend trailing caliper

                      With or without core?

                      PM me if you can hook me up with a set.

                        most likely w/o the core charge. Those calipers are pretty expensive, i doubt they'd be only 137 for the caliper w/ core fee. If they are only 137, thats a hell of a deal. NSX calipers are expensive, just like NSX parts.

                        Just for comparison purposes, my Vigor calipers, remanufactured w/ brackets and all...were 115 w/o the core. Add another 75 for the core charge on top of that. so about 190ish w/ tax and everything.

                          That's not bad I think, I rather buy new anyways.

                          Its the 86-89 vigor, caliper, bracket and rotor 11.1 rite?

                          I was searchin and it looked like the bracket came with the caliper is that rite?

                            Wagon Calipers are also a choice

                            17CL15VN: Found on ITR, CB9, BB4, RA Odysseys, CF4, lots of others. These use a larger rotor than the stock CB7 as well.

                              use the latest Vigor calipers & bracket; 1994 was the last year I think; its a direct bolt on job.

                              with my Vigor swap I used OEM brake pads; they are great, but they don't offer a very hard initial brake feel; I suggest going with EBC green pads, they will bite right away and offer much more confidence.
