legend and NSX calipers can be used since they were designed using the same bracket [28T] but the pads should be shimmed up if you're using anything less than a 25mm wide rotor.

No, because they are know for the their poor quality. How many cars do you see sporting Tenzo brakes compared to Brembo, Powerslot and AEM to name a few? Tenzo just makes shitty prouducts.

however, since you already have bigger rotors and a 5 on 114.3" bolt pattern you could very easily use the legend Coupe calipers and rotors by just swapping them out for your stock setup.
the only honda calipers i'm aware of that have dual pistons are: NSX, 2004+ MDX, and 93-95 Legend Coupes and Legend GS sedans. all should use the 28T bracket [or something compatible] which will work with the legend rotors.
