Does anyone have experience with Acura Legend 2 piston front calipers on their car?
I kinda want to try that over Type-R single pistons.

I made a small thread asking about those two calipers. I ended up going with the type r calipers because it was easier to work with.

I think theres some easy big brake kit you can use those calipers with mini cooper type s rotors?
Yeah...

Here's my thought process though.
If you are going to upgrade the brakes by increasing rotor diameter and as a requirement to fit the rotors you are using a different caliper, why not use a dual piston to increase braking surface? or is the dual piston system somehow equivalent to using just the Type-R calipers?

My main concern with ordering the Legend duals is whether or not the mounting brackets will bolt on directly to the Integra hub?
Secondly would it allow the use of the 294mm mini rotors as opposed to the "upgraded" 276mm mini rotors? which are only 12mm bigger than stock.

So you guys use mini rotors along with the ITR calipers? My 5 lug is in the mail so I'm open to new ideas.

Also do you think the plug in the match (the one in Justin's thread) is needed or can I remove it and weld it shut?
