What piston brakes does S2k use in the front and the back?
Thanks guys..!

 

do you mean how many?

if that's the question, it's 1. but it's pretty damn big.

If you're asking who makes them, it's Nissin.

 

how many pot does it use...? thats what i meant.. sorry guys...

 

As Shingles said, it's 1. Seems pretty strange that Honda would use such a "low spec" design, but the proof is in the pudding. My S2000 stops at least as well as my WRX which has 4 piston floating calipers up front. I don't know how they'd compare on the track, and the WRX does have a firmer pedal feel, but it seems that with nice big, thick discs, a large swept area and good caliper design, 1 piston is enough for the road. There's more than a little marketing in a lot of automotive hardware design.

 

A WRX is way cheaper than a S2K and it uses a better brake than the S2K.... then why is S2K so much more expensive then....

 

It'll take more than a count of pistons to convince me that the WRX brakes are superior to the S2000's.

have you driven an S2000? If you have, you will know that the brakes are some of the best on the road. Now, that said, they do require different pads and more cooling to hold up to track conditions, but on the street they are fine.

Honda spent money where they needed to: engine and trans. Brakes can be upgraded rather easily.

 

Have you looked at the 60-0 breaking times on the S2K? Do some home work... the breaking capabilities of the S2K are quite amazing.

number of pistons doesn't always = better braking The piston area is just as important. If you look at the piston on the S2000's caliper, it's pretty damn big. Also the ITR has a single piston caliper. More is *not* always better. In this case, 1 is more than enough.
