It would be helpful to know which model year Prelude/trim level you're considering taking brakes from, and which car and model year/trim level you're putting them on.

I've actually not heard of anyone doing a Prelude brake conversion, but I have heard of installing Acura 3.0 CL brake calipers (at least for 94-97 Accords) and Acura 3.2TL brake rotors... result is improved clamping power and brakes 1" larger... I honestly don't know if this setup has the propensity to warp like Accord rotors and Prelude rotors... but I'm quite optomisitic...

Your best bet may be to talk to the fastbrakes guy, I think his name is Brian. His screen name is fastbrakes. He knows his stuff about brake swaps.
