Why not just get rotors, brackets and pads from a 2nd gen?

If that is the most easy thing to do that is what I will end up doing so many 135+ mph passes on these pads anyway I was doing reading spent hours and most of the read I was finding was people saying it is dumb get 17 or 18 inch rims

Well you would lose some braking power with the smaller rotors from a 2nd gen.

A word of wisdom: Shut up before you really trigger the trolls.

Aside from that, just go with the earlier calipers and brackets, chances are you'll grind through and they'll leak.

It's not difficult. Depending on backspacing, the rear just needs the fins ground off the caliper. The front is not much more.

Any idea how much is required? I have 3rd gen brakes on my 01. Hasn't been an issue yet as it has 20s but 16s are much friendlier.
