I was wondering if anybody has tried, or would know, if the 2008 Acura TL Type-S Front Brake Calipers (4 piston I believe) would fit a 2001 Prelude. If so, even with little modification, it would be a good brake upgrade investment since I already have cross-drilled rotors.
you would have to get custom made brackets (most likely) and either shave the caliper or get new rims with a larger offset.
someone here got a hold of some 2nd gen RL calipers (which i assume TL calipers would fall victim to the same scenario) and had to get custom brackets and the calipers rubbed.
2. The best brake upgrade you can get is buy the right pads for your application. Adding _ - piston calipers won't necessarily make you have quicker stopping times. Neither is buying race only pads and using them on the street (that's a big no no).
3. If you want the look, then fine, just don't think they will help you brake any better.
4. Seeing as this is most likely to make the car look better, why not buy a real bbk (alcon, wilwood, brembo, etc)

update I just bought some new powerslot big brake rotors from summit there not supposes to ship until the 20 of feb so its gonna be a bit before i have any updates.
Also powerslot says that there discontinuing the brake upgrade for the prelude but summit still offers them so i ordered new rotors, if i cant get them then ill use the type s rotors.
some might ask why i just dont use the type s to begin with.
the type s are cast (heavey) the powerslots are a 2 piece style (lighter).
the new plan is to use RSX type S big brake rotors from power slot.
I have all the parts execpt brake lines that will go from the TL brembo to prelude factory lines.
here are some picts of the rotors. The black ones are the new power slot plus for the RSX type S
the old ones are from my original big brake kit from AEM back befor power slot took over.
you can see that the RSX are around 13.7 in dia.
I have some picts of the brakets.
I'm going to re-due the prelude wording when I get everything lined up.
plus the calipers got pretty beat up in trying to get everything mocked up
They are 18s 18X7, the "prelude' does look like crap. more importantly they work outstanding. I'm very vey pleased with the upgrade. No problems after 2000mi. I have done some heavy breaking from 120mph plus with no signs of fading like the stocks.
also some of the other honda's have a diff. rotor back spacing and are not very large dia rotors. the ones I have are 13.7 bearly fit under the 18" wheels
"white-out" huh the brakes can be repainted I have not seen any other ludes with this mod.
don"t hate
this seams to be the first lude i could finde
^as much as I'm glad you're brakes are working fine
Just because you're the first to do something doesn't mean it's awesome. As long as it's awesome to you that's all that really matters. Just don't expect everyone else to throw and and suck up to it.
How did you check the "fading" from 120mph? One pass? I hope this wasn't on public streets. Go for a 2 hour track day and see how well they really stand up with some better pads on there. That will tell you if they're really working correctly.
