I assume that the Baer calipers are two piston. If this is the case, here's what I know:

The Legend caliper pistons are each 2mm bigger than the NSX pistons.

This basically means that the Legend calipers have more clamping force than the NSX ones. Note that they use the same pad, so surface area remains unchanged, and braking "power" is mostly about surface area.

I would find out the piston sizes for the Baer stoppers first. Then, you can make a better decision about which ones to install on your car.

If you already have the NSX calipers, it's not worth your effort to get Legend ones, just use the NSX or Baer calipers, depending on piston sizes. Ask your friend, or send an email to baer to find out the details. Details on the Legend calipers are available somewhere here; just do a search.

I don't remember off the top of my head, but do a search on this...I'm positive it's covered in an earlier thread.

I'd speculate, but I don't want to give you bad info...

94 4 door gs.

also what matters is caliper piston size, cause the stock 4th gen vtec pads are the same pads as nsx and the legan gs ones. the GS are probobly the best ones to get, and they are cheaper than the nsx ones too.
