Has there been any research into fitting a set of 4 pot calipers from another Honda product?
I did some initial research and it looks like the Acura RL has the same size front rotors as on the Ridge...
hmmm.

I dont think there is enough clearance with the stock rims, You would need to up the rim size also,
I seem to remember one RL owner went down this road and was hit with clearance problems and bolt on options were slim.
Good luck with your research..
My EBC rotors are "curved" slotted as well as dimpled and are machined right here in the USA. They are dimpled rather than drilled because they say that drilled tends to crack around the holes.
I put a set of EBC sport rotors (front and rear) with green pads on my '06 Element and it made a huge difference. They really complemented the Honda Anti-Lock after the install my E stopped more like a Civic.
Looks like I will have it accomplished soon...
Picked up a set of Acura RL Advics calipers and lines locally for an amazing deal of $100 for the pair. The Acura's rotor size is the same so no 'fudging' needed. The lines will bolt right up too.
I have the calipers at a friends getting machined and then its down to building a prototype adapter.
Should be all done in a couple weeks.
Actually I did the math...surface area of the pad and volume of the pistons.
All nearly the same...pad is a tad larger.
And not the first time I've done something like this, I'm certain it will work fine.
