VTEC rotors by the way, and calipers from 93-95 LS and 94-95 GS sedan, i used 95 legend calipers from the sedan from autozone. expect to get hit with a 50$ core charge , unles syou find them at the junkyard.

search in teh archives for "legend" in the prelude section. I have done this swap, if you need nay more info of any specific questions just track me down , but all the info you need is in the search.

^^^don't use the nsx ones (sorry dude) but they are over priced and i think the pistons on the legend ones are acutally bigger than the nsx? don't quote me i think i read that some where. i love my legend upgrade it stops HARD.

JDM LUDE i didn't use a 5mm spacer but i often tare my lude down and check things over , so i just keep an eye on my pads, they key is that they don't get too low so you don't blow the piston out. will i eventually make a 5mm spacer, mmm maybe, do i need one now , no, does it stop like insane YES.

tony, the conversion is pretty easy, i have a 94 vtec, all i did was buy the calipers, and they bolted right on, if you have an si think you need the vtec rotors becasue they are thicker than the si . Im not sure if you need the vtec brackets ,
