Front 6 piston aluminum monoblock calipers barely cleared the wheels spokes as seen in this pic.

I see.. didn't know NSX's rear brakes were like that.

Not bad.. that is really close, but it's do-able. Is that a 15" kit?

These are aftermarket Big Brake Kits. The OEM NSX brakes in the rear incorporate the parking brake in the 1 piston set up. That is why Brembo and other manufacturers have to design monoblocks with ebrake seperate calipers. Some just go without the e-brake and leave the car in a gear when parked.

Front and Rear are 13" Cross Drilled and Slotted Cadmium cryogenically heat treated rotors. Man that was a long description of the rotors.

I see, that's what I figured (One piston setup)... I have a few friends that went with Rear BBK's (Brembo, from R/T) or went with a Porsche rear setup- but couldn't utilize the stock e-brake. That is the only thing stopping me from going BBK's in the rear (not that it is even needed, but looks )
