Default 95 Accord Rotor over Hub swap/Acura Legend Calipers

Hey,
New to the site but I've already looked at the DIY for info on the rotor over hub conversion. I've also found some info on swapping the single piston caliper for a dual piston caliper from an Acura Legend (95). Anybody done this or know someone who has? My questions are: Do I need to replace the master cylinder since I'm moving up to a dual piston caliper? And will this fit under 14" steel rims? (snow tires). Any insight would be appreciated.

I did the rotor over the hub conversion, so I can give you advice on that. There is a link in the common diy threads on top of the gen tech help forum that will help you.

As for the dual piston setup, I have no clue if this will work for you. Look to see if the 95 acura legend had 14 inch wheels available. I think they had 16 inch wheels, but not sure about that.

Does the acura legend have the same lug nut stud pattern as your accord? If so, you could try to find a U-pull-It place and see how your tires would fit on the hub of the legend. Or find a similar sized rim with the same lug setup as the legend. You might want to look into the size of the rotors between the two vehicles.
