suggest you dont its a big pain in the ***, the rotor to caliper offset is wrong which means you will have to machine either the rotor mounting surface or the caliper mount hardware, mine works great but i just should have bought aftermarket brakes, take the rotor to a mcahine shop with one of your 4lug rotors and have them srill the new holes in.
P.S. i forget but 92 legend brakes are two pston calipers and mount up the same.

well I also did the SS line upgrade and must say it makes my friends puke when I hammer the brake, I also have a balancer to put more pressure up front. yeah it really outperforms your stockers. I bought the calipers from Acura like USD 100 per side less core charge and did the rest myself. the rotors were expensive as I had them slotted.

rtype11, you mentioned that the 92 legend capilers will bolt directly to a 3rd gen integ? do you have to machine off some material on the legend caliper mount or put a washer to correct the offset of the caliper to rotor? if i go the legen caliper route will i need a legend rotors redrilled to 4x100, or i can use a 93-96 prelude vtec rotor? i was thinking on the accord wagon caliper/2000 prelude vtec calier route but since you mentioned that the legend caliper is 2 pot caliper now i'm thinking on going on the legend caliper route.

a balancer is like a a small valve device that trucks use when towing to bias pressure to front or rear or left or right brakes depending on how you set it up, some race cars have this also - i think F1???
Now guys I did my research a couple years back and I remember that I was going to use a legend that had 2 piston calipers, I know they would fit the knuckle and I think the rotor would need a spacer, never use a washer for a caliper shim, you need something bigger like a siloid sleeve, NSX bolt up and the you have the same problem again, the reason I got the typre R was the NSX were 250USD per side and the Legend were 450USD per side, good question on the preluse rotor - never lokked into it, all you need is Mitchells on demand and you can figure this out at home. cheers
