people swap the legend and nsx calipers because it is a 2 piston system. What is the point of getting a TL brembo caliper when you can get brembo calipers through brembo. The reasoning also behind the 2 piston system is that many people have upgraded from the OEM 1 piston calipers to a 4 piston and have not seen any results worth giving a hoot about. The reason behind this is because the prelude was designed for a 1 piston system. it cannot put out enough pressure through the breaklights to fully take advantage of that 4 piston caliper. Therefore to upgrade in actual stopping performance, the 2 piston calipers like nsx and legend is a better move because it doesnt need as much pressure as a 4 and 6 piston caliper.
