Why is it that no BBK company sells 4 calipers? How come it is only for the front brakes?

I heard that the JDM CTR brembos are the same as on the 350z. The pads ae the same as well. Are the CTR Brembos completely bolt on? If so the 350z brakes should be as well.
that would be interesting.

I hope to have an answer on this. As soon as I can get confirmation the the Type R calipers can fit the stock S2 rotors, I am going to pick up a set of 350 Brembos and get brackets machined. I have 17x8.5 + 50 Advan RS in the front, so spacers will likely be necessary.

Many cars would lose their rear hand/emergency brake function with an aftermarket caliper.

Next time you ever see a Aston Martin or even an Audi R8, pay attention to the rear caliperS. There's one specifically for handbrake use only. Evo's and such use a different system as they're equipped with twin pot calipers from the factory so the handbrake issue isn't a problem for them.

I feel like the S got the shaft on the brakes. All the cars like the EVO, STI, 350z and even the TL are in the same price range. At least the CR should've gotten Brembos. The JDM CTR got Brembos so why not the CR?? Stupid Honda...

Sti brembos and evo 8/9 brembos can interchange pads as well, but that doesn't mean that their brackets are spaced the same unless you know for a FACT that the JDM CTR brembos and 350z brembos are spaced entirely the same.

With regards to rear BBK's, wilwood has a 2 piston rear setup that utilizes the parking brake. The sti and evo don't need a 2ndary caliper because they have drum brakes for their parking brake where the s2k rear calipers have the integrated parking brake with cable connected to them.
