That's not necessarily true. It depends on the total area of the pistons. The brakes have no way of knowing how many pistons are in a caliper, and it's immaterial as far as pressure in the system is concerned. All that matters is the area of the master cylinder piston and the area of the piston(s) in the caliper(s).
If the 4 pistons in the Acura caliper have the same total area as the single piston Prelude caliper, the Acura calipers should work just fine. If the area is different, you're going to screw with pedal feel, travel, and brake balance.
Eh, they probabaly don't fit under 15s, so no use for me.
Also, last time I checked, there were no good race pads for those calipers. I can't recall if I even found many aftermarket pads for that caliper.

2 pot = best performing upgrade with our given brakeing systems...youd have to upgrade master cylinder for sure...and i mean unless your tracking as a profession, i seriously doubt anyone wants to mess with upgrade the entire system. im pretty sure that the spoon calipers are 2 piston but im not too sure on that.
