are you looking to upgrade your calipers only? if so i'd suggest OEM Legend or NSX calipers.

The problem is that oversized aftermarket calipers very likely require new wheels (18"+).

Yes as do the legend
because most performance calipers are designed for Larger dia rotors. Not stock rotors.

NSX/Legend front calipers fit our cars. They are two-piston calipers.

If you want more cylinders and/or larger rotors, you will have to go for a big brake kit. Rotora, Brembo, Wilwood, etc.
