I am wondering if a set of '97 - '04 calipers will fit on a 4th generation?

 

1st: what made you think it would fit? with the right amount of money anything will fit.
2nd: 94-04 has 3 different generation model NSX doesnt it?
3rd: good luck trying to find the brake calipers off of a $80k acura.

This guy has them on his 4th gen, so it can be done...I'd ask him how he did it if you really want them.

 

NSX calipers and Legend calipers are almost identical. The NSX calipers are a little more bling. That's it. They will fit, however, the Legend calipers are better for the money.

 

right, im installing Legend calipers this weekend. its the same thing pretty much....

i gotta friend thats got nsx calipers on his 4th gen....

Sorry, he has a set of 91 - 96 NSX calipers opn his 4th gen. It is well documented that they can be installed with almost no modification.

So you are saying there is no part difference between 91 - 96 calipers and 97 - 04 calipers?

As for the legend calipers, I belive they are trailing endge calipers so that is a big difference to me. You have to turn legend calipers upside down to get them to work.

 

ebay has some calipers for you! ouch... now, thats going to be a heafty brake upgrade.

does anyone know how much better the nsx calipers are than the legend and also the prelude vtec calipers?

 

I can't say you how much nsx calipers are better, but how much the legend ones are. That is of course my subjective opinion:

- at low speed : almost no feelable difference,

- at high speed (about 100 mph) : you can almost block your wheels, which is impossible with vtec calipers.

Generally I think it is a nice and not extremely expensive upgrade.
