That's the only reason I wanted the NSX callipers, so I could say I have a bit of NSX in my car.

I already did that!

(front lip bolts and the c-clips they screw into are the same on ludes and NSX's as I discovered when stripping them off next to each other in a scrapyard!)

Closest I'll come to driving an NSX for some time...

ATR are the better of the 3 due to being larger disks so take the heat better, nsx and legend are both 282 but the nsx has better design for cooling so there next then legend

Actually, the ATR and Legend calipers are the same! The carriers are the only differing factors to utilise the larger discs. So with the carriers the ATR larger discs will slightly outweigh the Legend setup. Then it's Legends for me as the pistons are larger compared to the NSX. The cooling factor is very minimal, if at all, but they are slightly lighter - so less unsprung weight. But only cos they are so much smaller. The NSX is a lighter car than a Legend, so the Legend has bigger brakes to stop it.

Just my 2p's.

Gonna lock this now as it's sold. There's quite a few existing threads on these brake comparisons if someone has any more Q's.
