I can't say for sure it applies directly to the s13 setup as I have not tried this. I'm unsure if the S13 caliper has different dimensions or not. I assume it would be close or possible though regardless, just use washers to space it accordingly.
The actual power applied to the rotor is the same, but in the grand scheme, you have more surface area in the same amount of rotation. THis allows for better fade prevention, more stopping area (if that makes any sense) and a safer (these are thicker) rotor. Remember, justbecause it has more pistons doesn't mean it is always better. You can often go with agressive pads to make up for any difference. I run Carboteech XP12's and these can easily lock the tires up. With slicks it's another story
