finding the caliper wasn't different. U may get them either in japan yahoo auction or ebay. However finding tje rotors was tough. Cuz there is no 282x28mm 4 nute hub rotor exists in the world. The rotors were custom made for my case and they were expensive. But anyway, the result was great and i love them.

Finding the calipers wasn't difficult. I was looking for them in Japan Yahoo auction and finally I got them on ebay. The condition of those calipers was surprisingly great. Therefore I didn't need to rebuild them. What I did was repaint them with high-heat caliper paint.

The most difficult part was finding the rotors. Cuz there doesn't exist 282mm x 28mm 4-nut hub rotors. The rotors that I got were custom made and expensive. But anyway, the upgrade I have done was special and I love the result !

The calipers are 100% direct bolt up. What I got for this kind of upgrade:

NSX NA1 calipers ~ $320 from ebay
caliper paint ~ $50
Hawk hps 5.0 brake pads ~ $80
Custom made rotors (282mm x 28mm) ~ $300
Goodridge stainless steel brake lines ~ $60

PS: my rims are 17" with ET42 offset. There are still plenty of clearance space (1"+). I would say 16" wheel will clear the calipers with ET50+ offset.
