I4 and v6 6ga have different brackets altho they r both 23T... the problem is tht i have 5 mm space in between the bracket and rotor with the 28T... not a biggie, but i'd rather eliminate tht gap... in the short run, it would be ok, but when the pads wear thin, the pistons need to push out an extra 5mm to even reach the rotor... does tht make sense? :thinking:



btw, u can swap the legend caliper on the V6 directly.. no need to replace anything...
av6 rotors are same diameter as the prelude ones i think... i know the brakes pads are exactly the same for the legend and av6.. u're basically upgrading just the calipers from single piston to dual pistons for better braking power...

:lolhitting: thanks bro for the info though
