Nice Post! Brakes look great! I hope to upgrade the calipers and rotors on my 02 ACR soon.

The 2001 has the 44mm ABS rear calipers and don't need any larger calipers for the 20% of braking that is what the rears do. I bought my 14" front brake kit from Roe Racing and got lightweight slotted rotors. My rear brakes have the 13" stop-tech lightweight slotted/drilled rotors. About 38# less unsprung weight. I used EBC Reds. The EBC greens covered my wheels in dust each time I stepped on teh brakes. Went to the Reds/Ceramic immediately.

Yep. I only upgraded the rear calipers for aesthetics. I wanted them to match the front. Could of just as easily moved my fronts to the rear but nah.

Turned out great man! I still have my Big Brakes sitting here waiting to be put on. Too bad my old wheels never got to see the big brakes on mine..but I'm sure they are happy on your car now! haha
