Some sick brakes I stumbled across

Well, I've seen the kit priced around $15K for other applications. It is much more expensive than other brake options. But like Hunter said, it's a huge part of your cars' performance. I'm almost done paying the car off. I plan on turning it into a track beast. Already talking with a couple shops about a sequential gearbox. Boosting and building the engine isn't too hard, stopping a powerful and lightweight car consistantly is.

Are you planning to take out a loan for the brakes next? 
jkBut seriously, if you're looking for mono-bloc, Brembo makes an application specific kit at a bargain price of 10k. Although a lot more cost effective options are available. It's pretty hard for anyone to justify 15k brakes as a vital part of performance, especially given the weight, or lack of, of the s2000. If you're serious about building a track car, I suggest you spend more time in R&C. It helped me learn a lot. There are some insanely fast guys running without mono-blocs and sequential transmissions (crazy, I know).

Honestly, these brakes are AMAZING!!! Would I ever buy them? Sure, when I win the lottery.
For a car as light as the S2000, a Mono6 is definitely not required. You can get an outstanding Endless 6-Pot Mini front BBK for $3,940 retail, and with the promotions we are running right now, you can acquire it for $3,550 shipped.
So there are definitely other, more affordable options available that are still just as impressive and functional.
EDIT: Another idea that I have in mind; the E-Slit rotors go for $350 a piece...I would like to buy these rotors and then either acquire the Spoon Monoblock calipers or a set of Endless 6-pot calipers with Endless brake lines and brake fluid. The total cost, if you go retail, is less than half of what the mono-6 goes for and you are piecing together your own high quality BBK...just my .02.

Is the E-Slit rotor compatible with the standard Endless hat? If not, is the E-Slit hat the same offset from the hub as the standard Endless hat? If you have to purchase the E-Slit rotor and hat, the price would a lot higher.

Unless you are implying a custom bracket for the Spoons, I don't see how that would work.

I will post up my results from Endless tomorrow.

I honestly don't think endless is going to come out with
2 piece e-slit rotor for oem s2000 application tho.

I just confirmed with Endless, and the E-slit rotor is currently the best performing rotor when it comes to late braking. On top of the various slits wearing the brake pad evenly, the "E-slits" that cross the slots help generate additional bite in order to maximize the brake pads performance.
In short, your pads are wearing evenly while still providing great gite and stopping power thanks to the slits and slots of the Endless E-Slit rotor.
EDIT: I did confirm that Endless does offer the E-Slit rotors for the S2000. The front rotors retail for $355 a piece and the rears go for $285 per rotor. We are offering a few holiday specials but I won't spam this thread with all the possibilites; give us a call if you are interested.

That sounds like it was written by a marketing department. Best for late braking? Has anyone taken data on these vs. a comparably sized blank rotor? Details on the testing... car, track, etc.? Big selling point: how many track days can one expect to get out of them? They are a wear item after all.
It doesn't really surprise me that Endless says they're the best. If I could get $1280 for a set of brake rotors I'd say they can cure cancer and make julienne fries too.
