I have a question...

NSX calipers + ATR carriers, I assumed from your post newkid this could work too?

NSX are 282x28 like Legend.

I'm wondering if this is really a worthwhile upgrade? I've seen a few people say that it didn't make much difference. As I don't take my car on a race track, is this a worthwhile upgrade for me?
I've just fitted the ATR calipers with the prelude carriers and discs. It makes a big difference for every day driving. The bite is much more progressive, though if you stand on the pedal the final bite is amazing. Took a bit of getting used to but now it's something I'm Mega glad I did.

Just to add a little more:

The NSX calipers are smaller than the Legend/ATR calipers (same) - slightly smaller pistons. But they are lighter and have cooling fins cast in, oh and 'NSX' cast in for uber cool points.

The Legend calipers over the preludes single piston caliper is marginally better, but I'd say go for the larger 300mm discs for th best bang for buck. :wink:

They should, the final position seems much the same as the OEM prelude carriers to me. I've no OEM wheels to confirm this with though.
