I know that a standard vti prelude has 282mm x 23mm, but will a thicker disc fit into the caliper?

are you looking for a thicker disk (longer life) or a bigger disk(bigger braking surface area)?
you probably wont be able to stuff any more into the factory caliper than the factory disk. they are designed to fit together

I am looking for thicker discs because i want something that can handle alot of heat and wont warp. Do you have any recommendations on what conversion i should do?

I was looking at the Legend calipers with custom discs. And do you know what would be needed to make the Legend calipers fit?

Thanks.

You can use the legend caliper with the MG ZR or ZS disks (282mm 25mm thick) they are 4x100 pcd and bolt on

Im planning on having a fast road car. And the MG discs are 25mm but the legend's are 28mm would it be better to have the standard 28mm.

And how much extra travel mould there be on the pedal with the legend calipers?

Thanks.
