even with the correction the piston area was larger on the single piston over the larger legend dual piston...

Legend = 1 38 1 42
19*19*3.14 = 1133.54
21*21*3.14 = 1384.74
Total = 2518.28
NSX = 1 36 1 40
18*18*3.14 = 1017.36
20*20*3.14 = 1256
Total = 2273.36
typeR/prelude = 1 57
28.5*28.5*3.14 = 2550.465

Making the typeR/prelude 32.185 sq. mm. larger than the larger legend dual piston caliper...

I'm still doubtful though... the only advantage to a dual piston floating caliper over a single piston floating caliper that I know of is less pad taper... but that's hardly a concern... I'm thinking maybe the legend/nsx calipers clear wheels better maybe... but I don't know..

I've been out sick from work this week... so I haven't had a chance to drill the rotor or take a look at the legend calipers we have there... but once I'm back I will.
