Re: Calipers
nothing fits without modification.
DC2R calipers fit with modded brackets, there's all sorts of big brake kits available. Search around.

Re: Calipers
the thing is, you really don't even need big brakes on our cars unless you're pushing quite a bit more power. some nice smooth rotors and hawk pads or ebc green stuffs will get you stopping nicely. some good rubber too!
