Probably the wrong place to ask. Use whatever you can get and will fit. Make the brackets. If they work out, make several sets and sell them. Only thing I can add is if you go too big you'll need bigger rear brakes to balance it out

Or Acura Legand, or an actual big brake kit made for the Lude.

Also I hope you have atleast a 17 inch wheel with enough clearance on the back side for them to work.

Just put a Porsche sticker on your stock calipers and you're all set.

absolutely pointless to do this, not worth the time or money to put into something that will not benifit the car in some way. This question is a fail

Hey Kronn 98SH...I would like to hear your opinion on this matter....What year NSX would you take the front calipers from for the 5th Gen Lude? And would you use Legend rotors?

It seems as though HT members have been discouraging instead of encouraging and the sad part is we all love preludes but damn to knock another mans dream is ****ed up. i can understand telling him it won't work but damn we have grown men calling names like kids. kronn 98sh instead of bashing this guy say something that would uplift instead of tearing him down .

Instead of bashing the guy that is bashing me, I should blow sunshine up his ***? While you are rude to most everyone else? Hypocrites and idiots. Christ.
