Do the calipers fit a 260mm and 278mm rotor? Or are there different calipers for the 260 or 278mm. If they work Im gonna get them cause my rotors are warped and I wanted to add SVT calipers anyways. I just wanted to check with you guys before I go to the yard tomorrow and buy them. Also do I need different brackets? Thanks for any replys.

I've been searching the archives all morning, but I can't seem to find the part number for the caliper brackets. Anyone know?
