Front/Rear caliper for stock sized rotors?

I have Stoptech 13" front and 11.8" rear rotors on my car, and do not want to spend money replacing them, but I would like to upgrade the front and rear calipers. I've seen fronts that fit the 13" rotor, but not any that fit the stock 11.8 rear. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that has a replacement rear caliper that fits the stock rear rotor size?

Thanks,
-danny

Why do you want to change calipers? From what I've researched, the factory calipers work pretty well.

Been there done that, powder coated a second set but since there's no rebuild kit, they leaked... I think it's time to just get a real set

I'm upgrading the rotors to 14" baer eradispeed rotors, new pads and ss lines and keeping the stock calipers. Since they aren't the prettiest calipers, I'm just painting them black or gunmetal.

I have heard of fitment issue's with the eradispeed rotors and the stock 18" wheels. Might be baed info but I decied to shy away from 14" because of that and went with r1concepts. If they do fit well when you install them please let me know how it goes as I would be most interested.

Unless you are going to something 4 piston fixed (ie: brembo or eq) I would leave the stock calipers be.

Essentially, even the baer calipers are nothing more than dressed up versions of the PBR ones on the car now.

To my knowledge, no one makes a kit to mount the brembo's on 13" rotors.
