Good looking brakes.. Is this only a front kit? is that the only color they come in?

cheers
 
I love that color, but what about the rears? I dunno if haveing that blue in the front would look good with another color in the rear.

Here's how it looks with stock rears, just unfortunately they do not make the correct size rear rotor for NA2. And the rear kit can be customed, but no e-brake.

Those look great...what size are your CE28N's? I'm wondering of a big brake kit will fit with my 17/18 combo....I think my offset gives enough room, but man, I seem to remember it being pretty tight in there with the stock brakes. Do these stick out anymore (side to side)? How big is the rotor? Are you running spacers?

17x8 +38 front + 8mm spacer... which is the wrong offset for the PM brake kit. With a brembo kit its fine...but for most other brake kits besides the brembo i would recommend 17x8 +33 offset. The rotor is a 345mm

the ones on the Imola are Forged and painted.
UP 2 YU is using a 345mm rotor ~13inch

more pics here

and the thread here

mine are billet and anodized w/ 355mm rotor ~14inch rotor.

i wouldve went with the 6piston, but that requires a wide fender treatment(Downforce wider sport fenders) with a higher pad(or spacer) because of the caliper body with increase of 16mm
 
those are some gorgeous looking brakes erick!
 
Sick set up! Hopefully I can track you down when I do purchase my NSX!

Those are definatly some sweet looking brakes. But I can't snag something that doesn't have matching rears or allow for use of the E-brake. I'm not down with putting anything on my car that would force me to tell someone "oh that doesn't work anymore".

Looking at these calipers, I have a (general) question about brake calipers.
The NSX OEM calipers are a mono-block caliper of cast iron/steel calipers with just two pistons on one side.
These aluminum calipers seem to be made of two segments of aluminum with pistons on both sides. Then the two halves are bolted together by a set of allen-wrench bolts which keep the halves together.

Am I correct in this? If so, that means the bolts are bearing all the stress of the piston pressure, right?? So in effect, the calipers are looking huge more because of the fact that they need room for the pistons and not as much as for strength.
