Your S2000 spindle/hub doesnt have those provisions.

That's the big reason companies aren't using 350Z/STi/EVO/etc brembos or larger sliding calipers from other cars for a cheap rear upgrade.

How does the NSX parking brake work? If its in the caliper...maybe NSX rear rotors and calipers are a cheap/easy upgrade.

Edit: it looks like NSX's have calipers with integrated parking brakes. And (relatively) bigass vented rotors.
nsx anything is way too much, man im jellly of my 350z guys with these cheap upgrades

Doesn't SBG have a RX8 based kit? Is it unreasonably priced?

The link shows a price of $1145. Not really that outrageous if you actually need a solution.

Or...maybe adapt a 350Z setup and use a line locking system as a parking brake? Can you 3D model your own parts. There are free (legal) CAD programs out there.

Single pots also came with different brackets for different rotor sizes.
