Prelude pad 89x45mm
Nsx pad 111x57mm

Nice parts mate.
For guys who considder buying these parts, read this:
A taken quote from: http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2396167

"I have NSX rear calipers on the rear of my NSX. Click the image to open in full size.

Maybe a few comments about them will help the discussion...

Most Honda/Acura models have rear pads that are much, much smaller than the front pads. That's because (duh) most of the weight is in the front AND weight transfer means the fronts to most of the braking yadda yadda yadda. For example, on my '94 Integra GS-R, the pad area is 50 mm front and 21 mm rear. On my heavily-tracked ITR, I replace 4 sets of fronts to 1 set of rears - and remember, this is despite the difference in pad size.

The NSX is set up the way it is because most of its 3000-pound weight is in the rear (I think 64 percent, IIRC). So even though weight transfer means more of the braking is done in the front, quite a bit is done in the rear of the NSX. In order to accommodate this, the NSX rear pads are almost as big as the fronts (pad area 58 mm front 39 mm rear). To give you an idea of how much braking the rear does, I replace pads on my heavily-tracked NSX at a ratio of roughly 5 sets of fronts to 3 sets of rears.

Bottom line, the NSX rear brakes are huge compared with the ones on our FWD cars.

HTH"

^^this + possible fitment issues. Be safe guys, use OEM Prelude, our front heavy weight Preludes don't need NSX rears.
