Default Brake upgrade

I have some calipers off a 00' 3.0 v6 honda accord (chasis CG2)
and the pads my local store list look wrong?
I have been told they are twin pots on this as stock.....is this true because they dont look it to me?

I have also got the carriers off it, will these just 'bolt on' to my eg6 hubs??

I also have some goodridge hoses, 5.1 fluid and 282mm x 25mm disks to fit, does this sound like a good upgrade to you guys?

I believe the stock brakes are supposed to be 1-piston.

Those are definitely single piston calipers. You might have to shave the caliper holding bracket or mounting point for them to fit correctly.

IMO, its not worth your time unless they are dual piston's from an NSX or I think the Vigor has the same calipers.
