I need to know if NSX calipers will just bolt on to my 93 h22. I have seen some conversions done but I have the AEM big rotor kit and if they are just a bolt on I can use them.

 

yes they are a direct bolt on

 

yes they will bolt right in couple of mods

 

What do yu do about the 4channel abs controller sys present in the nsx? how do yu wire therear channel?

prelude is 3channel ABS isnt it?

 

i dont think it will matter ....ABS sensors read off the hub it self and the braking is done via computer controlled "pumping"

so the caliper is just a caliper

Too true. It's simple. you have the V-tec rotors, It will just bolt right in.

 

So just use orig sensors then?

How much does a set of NSX brakes cost?
and how much bigger and better are they?

This is true. There was writeup on the whole install back in the day on hondaprelude.com, and the only mod that needed to be done was to take a set of oem nsx brakepads, worn preferably and grind ALL of the pad material off, creating a shim, and insert the shim prior to installing the new pads. As far as i remember, thats it.

nsx brakes are expensive, you could maybe find a set of calipers for $500+

 

did theyuse the NSX rotors then?
...or did they use the prelude rotors, hence theneed for the shim.?

They used the factory prelude rotors.
No, you cannot use NSX rotors....they are five lug. Unless you have a 5th gen lude 5 lug conversion, which i'm really not even sure if its the exact same bolt pattern (i think it is), you cant use the nsx rotor.

the NSX and 5th gen ludes have the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern

Instead of looking for worn NSX pads and wearing them down to use for shims, why dont you just buy some Nsx shims from acura for like $3 bux??

 

yeah, that's a good question.

Because the shim needed has to be 1/8" thick, which is roughly the thickness of the backing plate of the brake pad.

 

Wow, same PCD as NSX wheels!!, me thinks 5-lug conversion and NSX

 

just a little comment...i'd use the legend 2 piston callipers instead of the nsx ones...legends have slightly larger pistons and are much more affordable, and easier to find as well...just my .02 from my brake swap on an accord...

 

do you have to use shims on the Legend brake cnversion?

Yeah, but then they won't say NSX on the side.

I agree here. The only reason I have the NSX calipers is because they were off my old car. - Free.

As for the shim. .... Um. Not in my case. Just because the rotors are a different thickness, it doesn't mean you have to shim it. Just put it on.

The 5th Gen has the same bolt patternas the nsx, but I don't think the offset is the same. Maybe. I'll compare some-time next week if I get around to it. - I work alot.

 

i got the conversion on my lude, it bolts up directly. i had a machine shop make 5mm shims for the brake pads, because the vtec lude rotors are 5mm thinner than the nsx rotors.

nsx calipers need to be 91-96 year

they work great, reason i went with them is because it is the only brake upgrade that will fit under 15" rims. all others need 17" rims or bigger

so your saying the legend calpier upgrade won't work w/15in rims,
only the nsx ones will?

that would be tight.....the offset on the nsx wheels are crazy, and with a list of 1135 each from honda for fronts and 1320 for rears, the rims are a little too fuggin expensive

 

You can buy mine for $300. No kidding. 15" front. 16" rear. No tires. Hows that for discount?

What is the actual offset on the NSX then?

And The wheels are 'forged' alloys so how much do they weigh, and due to their 'said' durability, lightweight and strength then is there any advantages of an aftermarket set over the NSX ones?
