Not street legal either to the best of my knowledge. They are a race caliper.
Never argue with an idiot, it brings you down to their level and they beat you with experience.

nsx brakes will be more than enough to do the job, they pulled up steves starion unbeleiveably well at wakefield, even with the smaller of the 2 types.

wilwood calipers

My car is engineered and registered with the wilwood calipers, but obviously you will have to check your local regulations.

As I offered previously, I'm happy for you to pull mine apart and have the caliper brackets copied.

Then buy the Alcons from PWR, the DBA 5000 EVO 8 hats and HSV discs from just about anywhere.

but thats about as far as it got, calipers are only 300 a pair, so if you can get the bracket made cheap, would be good option.

Starion backing plate it totally different to scorpion unfortunately.
If enough people were keen, I'd be happy to draw a bracket for Commo callipers to NSX discs for Starion.
