Rear BBK options

The biggest reason that I did not go with the Wilwood rear kit is the lack of pad selection.
I have a 4-pot rear Wilwood setup, probably the same setup as s2000ellier and it has worked very well. I did lose my parking brake, which I do miss, but since I track the car more than I street drive, I liked the benefits of a better setup in the rear and keeping everything cooler. My rear lug nuts used to loosen after a session on track, now they do not.
When I was pressing in the inserts, I accidentally warped one of the brackets that make everything work with Wilwood OTS parts. I sent the bracket off to be copied and had more made (the person who copied it can make them again). Everything is relatively cheap. $120 calipers, $30 rings, I can't remember what the hats cost (front hats to an RSX BBK), and a wide selection of cheap pads.

I order from TCE Performance Products when it comes to anything Wilwood. I have part numbers for everything used in the kit stored at home if you want them.
Where did you get your setup? I bought mine off a member here. They were unused, so I was able to get all the part numbers off the packaging.

Ive also been looking at the StopTech rear BBK, the 345mm kit with E-brake. There are a few questions: What kit is recommended in the front? their 328mm or the 355mm? Also there are no templates available on their website for the caliper so clearance is unknown. I attempted to get the answers from Stoptech but didnt get much info from them. would be nice to know more, about the new kit
Additionally, you'll need 18" rims to fit both of those. The 345mm kit will not fit under a 17" and the 355mm kit definitely does not fit under a 17". the 328x28mm front kit barely fits under a 17"

(I made sure to link all products in my post so people know what i'm referring to).
kimgt had one for sale a while back. It utilizes a ST41 caliper. Not sure how the bias works out, since its a 345x28 rotor (he paired it with a 328mm)
"Rear Kit: Small 4 Piston Caliper, 345x28mm Rotor; included is the parking brake assembly (83.429.005G.R1)"

And FWIW, Stoptech does make a 328mm rear kit for the NSX that fits under a 17" wheel. It utilizes the ST10 parking brake.

After the custom brackets needed to mount the rear caliper:
Rear
Hat ----------------- 170-6947
Rotor --------------- 160-5843
Rotor/Hat Bolts ----- 230-8390
Caliper (DynaPro) --- 120-9706
Brake Line Kit ------ 220-10841 <--- These area actually a touch long. You could probably order some that are 1-2" shorter.
The parts are not directional, however, you can upgrade the rings to directional rotors or even the GT rings.
