Calipers...

As we know I am planning to re-do my entire brakes. The stock HF brakes aint good enough. I've gotten the price to do the rear disc conversion (minus pads, lines and rotors), and the price for everything to go onto front LS brakes. But I was wondering if using four piston calipers up front would make a large difference compared to using just the standard two piston caliper. Also does anyone know of any sites that have a walk-thru/explaniation of how to swap the fronts from HF to LS?

Re: Calipers...

There is a book on amazon.com that tells a little about it. It's called honda engine swaps and oem upgrades, but on the cover it just says honda engine swaps

Re: Calipers...

i think you do have to convert the whole thing if you are going to do it, b/c the proportioning valves are differ, and the master cyls and boosters too., you also have to get the differ ebrake cable, ect.

Re: Calipers...

Yea your right, they are one piston, got stupid for some reason. I'm pretty much going LS all through the break system. Since the prop vavles are different from the HF I decided to go ahead and just do LS up front so i could have some slightly bigger rotots.

So I guess my question os would having the two piston calipers up front also improve braking? Or should I stick with one piston?

Re: Calipers...

i don't think the difference would be that noticeable - stick with the 1 if it's easier
