TAKE OFF CAPS LOCK!
the only ones you can look at as a direct or semi direct swap are 2 piston JDM brakes off their st185's or st205 4 spot calipers - which require some modification ..
the 4 spots are VERY HARD to come by and premium prices are asked for them
outside of that - custom fabrication is your only option
r33 skyline gtr brembo brakes have been used by a member of this forum with good results but it was a total custom fit

the twin piston jdm ones are great. they also use the standard gt4 pad so getting pads isnt too hard.
they can be sourced fairly eaisly, ive bought 2 sets for the aw11's and work briliantly.

you might not need bigger brakes, try useing better pads and DBA golds.

and if thats not enough go for the twin piston numbers and they will use all your old gear (ie slotted rotors and better pads)

the ST185 JDM twin piston setup is actually smaller in diameter than the single piston setup.
There are no "bolt on" upgrades that are worth doing. All will have a custom component and will require engineering. Which is expensive for brakes.
I'm doing a 326x30 upgrade with R32 GTST 4-spot calipers. Completely new CNC aluminium brackets are being made up to fit them.
