If I can use the front calipers off a TL or a NSX, what do I do with the rear?

I mean I know the brakes up front do like 80% of the stopping but is there anything I can do to the rear? Would the rear calipers off eiter of those two cars fit my 5th gen? The factory ones look so little.

you can't use TL calipers.

You don't need to do anything about the rears.

on that note, i was curious if it were possible to run the RSX type-S calipers on the 5th gen?
From what i understand, those calipers are bigger than NSX, Legend, and/ or Tl......

ummm.. type-s calipers are not better than the NSX ones.

Maybe the dc5-R brembos but that's about the only way it could be better.
