Yours uses smaller rotors and ground off the 'ear' for the caliper and uses a custom one.  Its that set I am going to base my stuff off of.  I'm doing a different bracket likely and different rotor.  I want more clearance for 15s.  Hope its possible.

The brakes are good -- strong, progressive, I don't know about fade. I'd rate 
them there with the UFOs and much better than the G60s. But both the V8 and I 
sit around a lot. :(
