How to Convert to NSX Ft Calipers????

Hey guys.

I remember i saw REV's set up but i was wondering how this conversion is done?? I know i can find a set of NSX Front Calipers but i wanted to know which year it is taken off of. this way i can try and find what i need next.

i know i would need some stainless ft lines but would i use them from a NSX or a TL??

Lastly would this Caliper bolt right up? or would i have to get the NSX brake brackets? i would not mind going for this caliper next since its a 2 piston caliper rather than a 1 large like the OEM ones. PLUS it says NSX on it heehee. but yeah any info would be awsome to help get me started on this conversion.

thanks j

They bolt right on?? litterally like replacing a caliper with a new one. WOW now that is awsome. man i think i might actually jump on it cause i always wanted to up grade the front calipers with sometime better. plus its a 2 piston type. so i would use our stock caliper bracket and just bolt it right up like if i were to replace my calipers if they were bad. wow. i like that thanks for the help.

ohh one last question which year would you use it from? im assuming from the newer years since its more up to date with our TLs. like at least from the 2000 up model???

i might try and get the rebuilt ones and try thoughs out. since they are way cheaper than finding a set at the junk yard

The brakes were changed for the 1997 model year.

Larger front and rear brake rotor diameters and rotor thickness. The bracket and
the rotors are the major change. Front caliper pistons went from 40mm and 34mm to 40mm and 36mm.
