Why do you want a thicker Rotor....??? I don't think that's going to increase brake torque..

more heat capacity. but as far as i remember they are 23mm stock, so i would imagine u could squeeze up to a 25mm or so inthere before it hits the brackets.

if u really want to run a thicker rotor swap out to nsx or legend calipers, and then u can run 28mm rotors.

Go here for rotor specs: http://www.dba.com.au/2006/catalogue_intl.asp

Thicker rotor has more heat capacity allowing you to press the brake pedal harder without fade, thus leading to more brake torque.

well i dont think it will really generate more brake tq right off the bat, but it will surely hold off brake fade longer than a thinner rotor can.

i think if u compared it cold to cold, u'd probably generate the same tq, i would imagine?

yes from what i rmemeber the nsx are 28mm also. well atleast the older ones are, but i would think the newer ones are atlesat 28mm thick too, unless they incresaed the diameter even more
