Aren't the RSX and S2000 calipers the same? If not, couldn't you have used the RSX calipers also?

Been out of the loop for a while and didn't write out all the math, but is this really beneficial? The rsx-s rotors will increase brake tq by 8% over vtec rotors. Thats a good mod. But to reduce caliper caliper piston area by 21% seems like a step in the wrong direction. The si and vtec calipers may be different in size and the pads it takes but the piston sizes are the same (2.25") making them equals in brake tq. Increasing the rotor diameter by 1" increases its tq by 11%. The only benefit in this mod that I see is that the brake bias is moved toward the rear of the car. This would be good for a lowered car because of the reduced weight transfer to the front wheels during braking. Am I missing something?

^Really want more info on this, just waiting for my Si pads to wear out before upgrading the front. Hopefully someone who really knows brake systems can step in and clear some things up like if this will indeed give better braking performance since biasing more towards the rear even with a firm suspension that doesn't transfer the weight forward seems more like a downgrade even if it is physically bigger.
