NSX Calipers

I found a good deal on some NSX calipers, what years fit again? And they have to be reversed like the Legend calipers, right??

Remember, you are replacing the caliper and still using the caliper bracket from the TL where the brake pads sit

Are the Legend Calipers better than the NSX calipers?

I just realized how dumb of a question that was. What's the major difference though? 2-piston?

Actually i might be inclined to say the legends are better. They have a larger piston.

The NSX calipers are also made from aluminum and the legend calipers are cast iron.
Aluminum dissapates heat better..
BTW did u put the calipers on yet, I wanna know if the braking improved and by how much it improved?

braking will improve using the legend or the nsx. both are better than our calipers. u can pick up a set of nsx calipers for about $220. and the legends for a bit less

but if they don't say NSX what the point?, the brake booster and metering block is under more strain because it has to displace more brake fluid compare to the stock calipers, its a waste of money eitherway, so it might as well look cool with a different cars name on them

I think this is as pointless of a mod as a lightweight pulley, sounds great in theory but it will either be pointless or all end in tears for what u paid. With my abs dissengauged and ebc rotors I am able to stop way faster than before when the traction control vsa unit worked. It pops on at random letting me know how much it sucks when a computer does the braking for u
