Actually the RSX kit wouldn't fit the S2000 front brakes. The problem is in the Hat, it's Hub diameter is too small it's designed for the RSX which has a 64mm centerbore while the s2000 has a 70.1 centerbore up front. The hole in the hat of the RSX kit would be too small for the s2000.

I have seen these kits for the RSX for less than $700 shipped with braided lines. Are you sure the hats bore is too small? If so wouldn't it be easy for a machine shop to increase the bore or have the vendor do it? I also wouldn't be surprised if the center bore wasn't already larger.

The hat that's used in the kit is...
170-6947
looking for that hat here....

you can see the Inner Diamter hole of the hat is 2.53" which is 64.262mm. The front hub on the RSX is 64.1mm the front hub on the s2000 is 70.1mm. The hole just isn't big enough. I'm sure you could make it fit but do you really want to?

You're absolutely right, well spotted!
I think you are talking about the Centre Hole Diameter? For the S2000 thats 70,3mm or 2.75".
That means the correct hat from the list would be 170-8589, as it matches the PCD of 5 x 4.50" (5 x 114,3mm), and is the closest patch to the CHD.
More research to follow, I will crack this bitch and find a 100% compatible kit!

check out the hat diagrams
If it were me and I had no options I'd probably take the RSX hat and have it bored out to 70.1mm by a machine shop. But since there is a kit that's made for the s2k and it's not hugely more expensive(I don't know about VAT issues) than the RSX kit is it worth it?

Actually an Aus/UK GB might be nice. There is currently a similar discussion going on in the Aus forum about brake upgrades.
