Default New member with weird question

Hi everyone, I recently picked up a 3rd gen 1991 prelude and I need to replace all of the brake calipers as they are all seized, but I found a full set of Honda s2K calipers and was wondering if any one knows how I’d go about putting them on the prelude? ( rear calipers are going to be about $200 per side and the full set of sk2 calipers are $60)

That would not be a bolt on affair OP. You need to stay with the stock calipers to keep it simple. I get that the price on the S2K calipers is enticing, but the path of "this is a deal, let's get it and make it work on my car" is a lonely, frustrating one that will likely cost you more in the long run. Good luck.

Here are some rear caliper for a '91 Prelude w/ the 2.0L engine, not sure which yours is.
Here's the link: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...b,caliper,1704
Looks like you can get both rear calipers for under $140.



S2000 Calipers are likely to cost MORE, they werent designed for your car so there are alot of things that could be different. Different diameter rotor, different thickness rotor. The mounting of them would almost certainly take custom fabricated steel adapters that would cost upwards of $80 a wheel to make and custom sourced hardware. I wouldn't quit your "resourceful" ways or get rid of your open way of thinking, but in this case...yeah I wouldn't bother man.
