Message	Could the skyline calipers be used in this system in place of the stock caliper? I know I have to get rid of my early NA calipers if I go with a thicker rotor (which is a must, 26mm warp-prone monsters have to go!). Skyline R32 rotors are only 295mm (11.6") and 32mm thick, so this larger kit would be worth looking at for me if the price is right. I am planning to do something this summer with just the fronts. I can't justify upgrading to 17's on my NA at this time, but would be interested in upgrading the front brakes and keeping the stock 16" wheels if the price is right. Guys with early NAs could really benefit from a niche kit like this. I think the difference would be like night and day or these early cars.
