Hey guys, planning on doing the big brake upgrade on my 96 accord using 94-95 legend GS calipers and had a few questions..

According to this thread on honda-tech, http://honda-tech.com/honda-accord-1990-2002-2/95-accord-legend-2-piston-brake-upgrade-1620413/ all you need is a 282mm wide, 25mm thick rotor thats 4x114.3, 25T caliper brackets, and the legend calipers which are meant for 28T brackets/28mm thick rotors?

Also confused about whether you use brake pads that match the 25T caliper brackets or brake pads to match the caliper itself?

Honestly do you know that the 4th and 5th gen accord
have captive rotors
youll have to remove the hub/wheel and race assembly
better off going rotor over hub 5 lug conversion

so youre suggesting an ROH 5 lug conversion will be easier than say just replacing worn rotors? or you might as well given the effort required?

Both
the effort to change our rotors is ridiculous
go 5 lug
fronts are 1st gen odyssey - hub, caliper and rotor
rears vtir prelude hub, dc5 rotor and stock brakes
