VR4 calipers do not fit. Nonturbo 3000GT calipers are the dual pot upgrade.

I've heard of people with VR-4 brakes on a dsm before. Granted you need bigger wheels and I think some machining has to be done to the knuckle, but I have "heard" of them being put on before. Just get some gsx brakes and call it a day.

Yeah, you need a custom fabricated bracket.

just do the GSX swap. it's a bolt-on and gives you the same performance with less headaches. plus they're actually MADE for our car.

You can put what ever brakes you feel like putting on your car, just be prepared to make a custom bracket.
I have a friend who sells used NEXTEL cup car parts and he said he could make me a custom WILWOOD brake set up for pretty damn cheap.
