I was wondering if $700 for (2) BRAND NEW front NSX calipers straight from Japan is a REALLY GOOD deal???

It's for a 91-96 NSX and it looks different, at least the color when compared to the posted pictures on PO. It's all BLACK including the "NSX" logo and not the usual gold/silver color with the red "NSX" logo.

Are the Japan NSX calipers different than the ones in the US???

I know I'm overkilling this question, but what exact OPTIONS (Rotors, Pads, Braided brake lines -- Vtec, NSX, Legend) can I do to make this a STRAIGHT BOLT ON to a 4th gen SI.

Can I use AEM 4th gen VTEC big brake rotors with relocation brackets for this NSX conversion for a straight bolt on?

Any other details will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for all your help!!!

Horrible deal, you can get a set here and rebuild them for under $400. If you're getting them for an 4th gen Si you'll have to get the VTEC caliper mounts and everything except the calipers for the VTEC caliper swap.

AFAIK, nothing will make it a straight bolt on because you'll always have to use a 5mm spacer on the 4Gen to make up for the difference in rotor thickness between the 4Gen and NSX rotors. The only 28mm thick rotor that will fit is a Legend GS rotor, and it is only available in a 5 lug configuration. You could always convert your 4Gen to 5 lug!

As for brake pads, the NSX calipers use the same brake pads as the Prelude. Same goes for brake lines.

For rotors, the 4Gen will have to use stock VTEC rotors with a spacer, and for a 5Gen, you can use 28mm thick Legend GS rotors.

You should be able to use the AEM kit without a problem, but you'll have to use a spacer for the pads.

Thank you so very much for the info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do I really need the VTEC caliper brackets to fit the NSX calipers on my 4th gen SI???

So regarding spacers, I need one 5mm spacer for the AEM Vtec rotor and another 5mm spacer for the Vtec pads, RIGHT???

Where can I get these spacers and I'm assuming they are extremely easy to put on?

Overview of what I need to directly bolt on (Please correct me if I'm wrong):

1) NSX calipers
2) AEM front Vtec rotors with relocating brackets
3) 4th gen Vtec pads
4) 4th gen Vtec braided lines
5) (2) 5mm Spacers (One for rotors and other for pads)

Are EBC green stuff pads the BEST ON THE MARKET for stopping power, low dust, and durability for a 4th gen?

You need only one 5mm spacer for the brake pads. It's because the Prelude rotors are 23mm thick and the NSX rotors are 28mm thick. The spacer is used to make up for the 5mm difference. The only thing I have seen used for a spacer is an old brake pad with all of the friction material removed.

I haven't heard much good from the EBC pads, but I mostly pay attention to track reviews, not just street reviews. If it were me, I'd buy Hawk HPS pads. Very good stopping power, low dust, and no noise. For a little bit better stopping power, try Hawk HP+ pads, but they dust like crazy. They are also noisy when warm.
