Haha I see guys getting flamed for dumb threads..please don't let this be one of those:ownedrun:
Yes I read the Legend GS sticky, as well as 90% of the 4-5 lug threads. I'm mechanically inclined and all but crist some people are calling parts different names & mixing my damn head up, and names/abreviations that I'm just not understanding.
I picked up a 98 Lx sedan 4cly today. 4 lug obviously. I'm starting quick to go 5 lug so I can run the wheels I would like & get this thing dropped. If I can't make it fast I may as well make it look good lol. So I've searched and need guidence..make sure I've got the right parts down basically. Just want some confirmation.

Autozone part#'s
2 front hubs for 6cly (930-450)
2 Timken bearings (510050)
2 rear Timken wheel bearings/hub (512179)
2 Legend GS calipers (C9209 & C9208) Do I get 1 of each side or 2 of 2 side?
2 6th gen v6 rotors-11.1" (282mm) (31257) or 7th gen v6 rotors-11.8" (300mm) & matching brackets


4 or 6cyl rear knuckle complete with brakes. If 4cly swap hub & rotor for 6cyl.
With the Legend GS calipers I saw in 1 thread I needed 2 right side calipers to keep the bleeders at the top of the calipers? True or false?
I want the biggest rotor to file the wheels, I read something about 11.8" rotors vs the 11.1" legend gs rotors. 7th gen 6mt coupes have 11.8" I guess..can these be used? Would need 28t brackets I know..
I guess those are my only 2 questions. My parts list should be on track. I'm keeping my front knuckles & just pressing in the new bearing & 6cly hub so its all new vs buying used. Looking for rear 6cly complete knuckles..if not 4cly will work just swap rotor & hub.

I haven't found an answer clear on the 300mm rotors off the 7th gen 6mt coupes though. Would love to use them! Also on the Legend calipers, a few threads said get 2 same side calipers so the bleeders are at the top of the caliper. Others seemed to be using a right & left caliper which is why I'm getting confused lol. Your help is appreciated.
Will run 3.5 Gen TL base wheels or 8.0 Gen Accord Coupe V6 wheels if I can get my hands on them. The brakes should clear if not then some spacers will do the trick.

Let me go measure mine since I used the rear rotors from a 7thgen. The only real problem I ran into was that the diameter on the hub of a 6thgen is larger than that of a 7thgen but the 7thgen hubs are a direct match on the 6thgen spindles.

So..basically - 7thgen rotor inside diameter & outer hub diameter are smaller than those of the 6thgen. But the parts are a direct swap and bolt on.

Ok so the 7th gen rotor will not fit over a 6th gen hub because its hub bore is smaller?
But you can use 7th gen hubs on 6th gen knuckles in order to run 7th gen rotors...seems pretty simple lol.
Why did you use 7th gen rear rotors? Bigger? What did you use up front?
From everything I'm reading I can run the 11.8" 7th gen 6mt coupe rotor without a problem..I just need TSX or 6mt coupe brackets to go with them, P#14-1416. I'm doing a 5lug conversion with Legend calipers at the same time..those 11.8" rotors will fill wheels pretty dang nice lol.

I did something similar to this on my old jeep..swapped knuckles & brakes off a newer jeep onto it..huge brakes and true crossover steering was the achievement. So I'm capable..****s just mixing me up lol.
