Brakes...would this work?
Im trying to figure out what to do about my brake setup as everything needs replacing. Its on a 91 accord lx. I was thinking about accord wagon calipers and mounts, prelude si vtec92-95 rotors. I want to also get this to rotor over hub. Will the 99 cl 2.3 bearings and hub assy attach to the preludes rotor? Or could i just use the lude hub/bearing assy, without changing anything else.
I know the first part(calipers and rotor) will work, Im just trying to figure out what parts to make the rotor over hub work.
Also, what size bolts am I going to need to attach the bearing/hub to the rest of the hub, and the hub to the rotor, and then the lug bolts.
Thanks for any help, I initially was just going to do the cl 2.3 rotors, hub upgrade, but i need calipers now also, so figured why go back stock.
If you have any comments/suggestions, please respond asap, cuz im gonna try the junkyards tomorrow morning.
thanks

yes, but the screw holes may not line up.
you may use 98-99 2.3 or 3.0 CL rotors and the screw holes will line up..
if you use 2.3 rotors or prelude S/Si (think Si's had 10" rotors), then you can reuse the stock caliper. if you use prelude VTEC or 3.0 CL rotors, u need a bigger caliper.
you press the hub to the bearing either w/ a big f'ing hammer or a press.
the hub should have 4 studs already, rotor goes on and 2 screws hold rotor to hub.

Well, I have to get new calipers anyways, so i figured why not upgrade... so i could use
93 wagon calipers
3.0 cl rotors
2.3 cl hub and bearing
and all that will line up giving me a bigger caliper/rotors and rotor over hub right? Guess I can always get the parts, and if they dont line up.. return them. Cuz I have the 2.3 cl's rotor, and bearing and half of the hub, but i think i will return the 2.3 for the 3.0
Thanks

yea thats me posting at AD too. yea you can use them. I'm not sure if honda actually made the part any different, but if u goto the autostore, they sell u the same part number for either car. I just went w/ the one that was cheaper when I was shopping, the accord one

yeah, i just compared the #'s and they match
so im gonna get the rest of the hub from acura, and some new calipers and pads, and i should be set.
I read about a good brake fluid, cant remember the name... anyone know what it is?
