Those calipers are for the "rear" of a 2g eclipse. That rotor is for the front. It will be wearing a 12" rotor in the rear. The rotors and calipers are from "stoptech". I am being told that those calipers are the same as a "big red", but the castings look different to me ?!?!?! I was working in a team at<a href="http://www.morissdampers.com" target="_blank">www.morissdampers.com</a> that designed brackets for the rear to accept that caliper(stop tech only makes them for the fronts).

They should fit under 18"s

Stop-Tech... uses a caliper that's either the same as a brembo or based on it and then they toss in their vaunted "bridge" that supposedly increase the stiffness of the caliper.

Yeah.... that's what everyone complains about. How flexible BR's are.

Even better, if you use them at the track and really get some heat into them, the little screws that hold the bridge become impossible to remove. Makes a 5 minute brake pad swap into an hour long ordeal. Have friends who watched a Stop-Tech engineer struggle with that on an Audi S4 at a Quattro Club event. He had to remove the caliper to change the pads but boy was it a stiff caliper.
