Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 2 ABS cars have the same 4-piston Brembo front calipers. Gen 1 and Gen 2 non-ABS have the same single piston rear calipers. Gen 2 ABS cars have different single piston rear calipers that don't fit non-ABS cars.
Resizing from the OEM 36mm rear caliper piston size to 40mm will balance your braking very well without any sacrifices in daily use or irreversible changes to your car. You can keep the same pads, don't have to cut anything off, keep the parking brake, use 17" wheels, and has stock appearance. Mechanically, if you can take the old ones off, you can put these new ones on. It's an excellent upgrade for street use, and lots of folks who run track sessions with 40mm brakes have also been happy.
Here's a link with some comments and one post mid-page has the link to previous descriptions of the caliper conversion.

Not an insignificant feature is price. The 40mm conversion is $630 plus cores; other options would start at 2X that price. I send you the new brakes, you swap and send me the old ones back (with a check, please.) If you want an info sheet, let me know and I'll email it to you. Or ask questions - be happy to explain the whole thing.
