Default Upgrading Calipers?

What company makes upgraded front calipers that will fit OEM sized rotors? I've heard of people using NSX calipers, but they're pretty rare and am unzure of their specs/price.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Actually, there was a thread about this a while back (at least 4 months), with a list of factory calipers that bolt up. However, although they gained stopping power from the increased rotor size, their actual breaking capacity was less than or almost equal to your stock ones. If you really want a brake upgrade, you need to look at some after market calipers with big rotors (that usually require a 17" or greater rim)
