Hmm, interesting. Wonder if they really are Nissin calipers. But fwiw you could piece together an 11" front brake upgrade for less than this.

Legend GS calipers say Nissin on the top and are slightly bigger than the NSX ones. If they are the Legend ones, then they have different size pistons front and rear of the caliper and are designed to fit on the rear of the rotor instead of the front. It means that the either small/large piston arrangement would be in the wrong direction, or the bleeder screw would be facing down instead of up.

This.

If they would be willing to share what type of pads they come with and who manufactures the rotors it would be a more interesting package. Oh yeah... I'd take solid rotors over those swiss cheesed ones any day.

Fastbrakes kits are a little cheaper anyway, I think the 11" kit for 9.5" knuckles is around $425 iirc, and comes with lines too. They also have been doing these OE-type upgrades wayyy longer than just about anyone else, at least in the Hondasphere.

if they are really "bolt in" it will be worth the $20 difference
since the fastbrake kit requires modification to the bracket, not to mention free shipping.

Yeah, guess the fastbrake kit is $475 now but they do still come with front lines.
