Ok just wondering is it worth changing to NSX Calipers for the extra piston? They are a straight swap with the EK9 Caliper.
 
NSX calipers are heavy, but they work well as an upgrade from the EK9/DC2-R calipers. The extra piston will help promote even brake pad wear.
 
I think it's worth it for looks alone ;) also worth nothing is i believe there are two versions of NSX Calipers, the early model and late model, IIRC late model caliper is much larger and requires 16" wheels.
 
the caliper is not any larger, it's just the caliper carrier itself that allows for repositioning around the bigger disc.
 
here's some motivation, and it's the bigger set...

you could upgrade to legend calipers (twin piston) or rover 620ti calipers (big single piston) its a direct fit on the ek4 but not sure on the ek9 i kinow the brake pads are the same i the NSX, itr 98spec, mgzs 180 and honda prelude all with 282mm front discs im in the prosses of doing this conversion my slef also the 260mm rear dics conversion cant wait!!!

I´m new here so i dont know if everyone allready know about these mods?

Anyway they will fitt bolt on, but legend is better if you want to use aftermarket pads, som of the pads doesent fitt the rover calipers.

Prelude 2,3 and 2,2 also fitt and several others calipers

MG ZR 160 rotors is bolt on when using any of these bigger caliper (4x100)
