I emailed them to get some clarification. I don't think they would mind me sharing their reply:
Each piston is 40mm in diameter. Rotor thickness is 25mm.
Replacement rotors are $300 a pair.
These are direct bolt on to the Knuckle/hub. No brackets required. Both calipers and rotors are direct fit.
I started a thread here about how bias changes for this and other brake mods.

If that's a picture of the calipers from Ballade then it looks like they were milled down

No, that is my picture. I brought these a while ago from the dealer, before ballade posted their pic. And no they are not additionally milled down, these are how they come straight from dealer.

That still doesn't clarify if they machine the calipers to fit, or if they are bolt on as is from civic.
They say direct fit, and no brackets needed, but that doesn't mean they didn't machine them first before shipping them.
In other words do they mean direct fit right outta the box from Honda, or direct fit right outta the box from Ballade?

Hi Steven,
Unfortunately, it would not work simply like that. We have modified a whole kit to work for the S2000. What we can do is give you a credit for your calipers if they are brand new, undamaged condition, to make you a kit. You'd be looking at $899.99 if you shipped us your calipers and we sell you a complete kit direct fit for the S2000.
So yeah looks like they do some type of modification to the caliper. Sucks too because I can get them cheap from my work.

So as stated from before what was the point in this exercise so you can say you have ctr brakes? I would much rather have the StopTechs over these and the difference is a few hundred. You still are short pads on this setup. I just never understood any of the stuff they put out just looks like a cash grab imo, but whatever works for the buyers.
If people looking for the JDM bling there is a rumor spoon is rereleasing their caliper with a true BBK this year.

For me it was because I can get them for 240 bucks and thought it was a true bolt on. Just need rotors and pads, I'm sure it's better than our stock setup.

^What he said. Additionally, I've seen stoptech BBK with one piece rotors advertised for 1300 . Also, the pads for Stoptech will be cheaper than the brembos. With two pad changes, you've lost most of your money savings over the stoptech.
More importantly, is the brake bias maintained?
