when you do em, bleed all of them and try to get the funkiness out. if you can go to amazon hose in tampa just measure your brake lines, tell them the fittin sizes and they can make lines for like 15 buc a piece..........just dont tell them they are brake lines, they aint supposed to make em. tell them they are clucth "hard line" replacements!!!!!

My setup (just need larger wheels so the parts can go on)

95 Acura Legend GS calipers (twin-piston, larger than NSX )
Hawk Pro pads front/rear
Russell stainless lines fron/rear
Brembo 11.1" Prelude rotors re-drilled to 4x100
00 GSR rear brakes (complete rear arms)
99-00 Civic Si prop valve
00 ITR 1" master cylinder

I may pick-up a set of EP 10.3" rear rotors & caliper brackets.

I ran the Legend calipers/rotors on my Prelude and it would stop on a dime. Should bring my EK to a screeching halt

-Mike

purchased the calipers through Bert (brand new from Acura), brembo rotors off ebay, redrilled them myself, pads and lines from one of the HT sponsers and the master cylinder and prop valve from HT members, rear brake setup from a TR member.

wouldnt it make more sense to just use the same legend rotors as the calipers?
