Default Upgrade calipers?

Hey guys, I am nearing the end of the mechanical parts that I need, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any aftermarket performance calipers that I could purchase for a 91 Integra? Thanks alot.

94-95 legend. but you will also need all the rest of the parts such as rotors, pad etc.
To make all this work efficiently you also need to upgrade your brake master cylinder to a 98+ gsr/type r mc.
everything should cost you under 5-600 bucks. That is if you get all the top notch brake parts i.e brembo blanks, hawk HP+ pads etc.
Someone should correct me if i'm wrong since i'm not 110% positive of the how the knuckle is on DA's.

i did type-r calipers/prelude rotors on mine. just gotta machine the bracket where it mounts to the knuckle and re-drill the rotor to 4x100. weirtech here on the board did the machine work for me. brake booster/master cylinder isn't needed, i still have my 15/16" and it feels great but i highly recommend getting SS braided lines. the pedal feel and braking power betweeen both my cars is like night and day.

Do you know anywhere that I can pick up the Willwoods? Around what price do they go for, cuz if its around the 600 -700 then I would grab that instead of the legend setup.

it shouldnt cost that much for the legend up grade. theres guys on g2ic selling it for 150 or so u can get the rotors from fast brake for decent price, if u looking for wilwood kit its well over 1000. the kit i hvae prob gonna need 17' rims, if u r on a budget the legend calipers is deft the way to go, i heard alot pf good reviews on it!!!

Okay, thanks, yeah I do not wanna go 17" rims. SO I'll look into the legend upgrade. Thanks alot for your input guys, much appreciated!

I read somewhere in a magazine that Rotora has replacement calipers that work with Nissan OEM equipment (rotors, mastercylinder), they will still clear OEM wheels, with the only difference being they have more pistons. They have 2, mini 4, and mini 6. I'm still looking for someone to confirm this, and find out if this is available for Integras.

I found this website too:

Just another option...
