i understand that you can run OEM 5th gen brake pads if you use NSX calipers for the front. But can you also run OEM NSX brake pads with NSX calipers on the 5th gen?

i would *assume* that the NSX brake pads are larger in size? (or am i mistaken)
large size.. more stoping power?

inputs welcomed.

 

Pretty sure they are the same size.

 

blah, nevermind.

They're the same, don't worry.

 

The NSX (all model years) and the 5th-Gen Prelude use the same front pad shape: D503. The advantages to using the NSX caliper is better heat dissipation, a more rigid caliper design, and a dual-piston configuration.

You can probably tell me this...but I am under the assuption that the Prelude caliper is a single-piston caliper? Yes or no? If so, then the NSX caliper, being dual-piston, will give you more uniform pad wear, and better fade resistance, as well as overall better clamping pressure.

Yup, you're right. Prelude brakes are single piston. NSX are dual piston.
