Y the stock brakes are awesome esp if your runnin a decent set of pads. And I dont think any of the calipers you mentioned will wok. The closest caliper upgrade I have seen that used oem brembos was brembos off of the tl-s but iy requires some work. You gotta shave down the caliper and hub 5mm for the caliper to actually fit on the hub and then you gotta run custom rotors stockers dont work. But after you have done all this you spent the same ampount of money o even more then what a bbk costs. So your kinda s.o.l.

great first post, you're off to an awesome start

my favorite s2000 brake upgrade is mounting 2 dc rear calipers to each wheel in the front of my s2000

the only downside is you need a total of 4 rear calipers to do this...but you can mix and match between the dc and da chassis

cheap dual piston caliper mod FTW

you are a moron sir...
why would you need to swap out the oem brakes for anything mitsu/subaru/nissan has to offer???

just a waste of time and energy. just keep the stock ones and buy better(if) pads and go from there. if you want more then step up and get the 4/6 piston caliper kit.
