Bret,

Given my limited knowledge of calipers and brakes, I'm gonna take a shot at this. As far as I know, I don't think that you need to replace the calipers. IMO, the calipers should still be the same. I've seen big brake kits still using the stock calipers. Where am I going with this? Instead of a caliper, try finding the bracket. It's just a matter of relocating the caliper so that you'll fit the bigger discs. That should be cheaper. Probably, the R models hold the bigger discs so try there.

Regards,
Mike H.
