It is a VERY close fit...but it works. Never had an issue.

VTEC calipers are good enough. As long as you get a good brake pad and good tires, your stopping power should be fine.
I upgraded because my brakes needed an overhaul. Also, since I use my car on the track, the extra benefit of the dual piston caliper was VERY tempting. More of an insurance policy. I figured I might as well put the "best" I could on at the time and never look back.
Legend calipers are VERY similar to NSX calipers....just not as "bling". However, VTEC calipers are perfectly fine for the streets....even some moderate track use.

Yes, but I don't think you read the rest of it. You do NOT need to upgrade. Spend the money on better pads and tires.
If you are looking to just waste money so you can mod your sig., send me the money. I could put the money to better use than what the Legend calipers will do for you.

i had it but took it down. i mean its really close. actually i think it should be the same as regular VTEC caliper clearance. i used the same bracket 23T to house the legend calipers.

how would prelude calipers work on a NSX? you state that its not needed, but wouldnt having the legend/nsx calipers help?

my brain: "oh well i feel the same way about doing every job the best, i need to overhaul my brakes too, and the 2 piston is enticing, a lot like it was to you"
the insurance policy is what i am all about...i want to put the best on just like you did...for when i do track my car(soon)....and it wont cost me a cent to get these calipers since i have a pretty much otherwise worthless in-store credit to the junkyard...and then i can also sell the jdm calipers, so basically i will make money on this deal, sounds good to me.....
