Ok hondaswapers people I have been working on this project for awhile now. So what I have figured out is that I can run 1989 Acura Legend Rear calipers on the Accord SE-i hub. These calipers are spaced out more to allow for a 10.2" rotor on the legend application. I put some EP3 03 Civic Si rotors on the hub with the legend calipers and I ended up with 1/2" an space between the rotor and the inside of the caliper (pictures at the bottom of the post). So I plan on picking up some power slot 11" rotors to run with this setup, my dilemma is that I will end up with a pad that doesnt cover the whole rotor. So if anybody out there has an idea of a longer pad that I could use to extend all the way across the rotor that would really help. As for the CRX in the title, the rear CRX brakes are almost identical to the accord of these years. This means this mod would work for you CRX guys.

The legend caliper also has a much larger psiton then the accord/CRX one does(dont worry about the yellow writing in the picture, I used it for a DIY).
Here is a comparison between the different Legend pads, none of them extend down far enough and the NSX is completely different.
G3 Legend (USA RL)
(88.9 x 47.4 x 15.4) 11" rotors
G2 Legend 11" rotors
(88.9 x 47.4 x 15.4)
G1 Legend 10.3" rotors
(88.9mm x 47.4mm x 14.6mm)
and for all the old school accord haters I have done a number of mods to this ride such as 11" front rotors with ITR calipers, and LS/v swap, and full suspension so .
