Caliper size was very close. Maybe a few mm bigger?
The biggest difference will be no more seized calipers. I haven't seen any 5th gen guys having issues with seized caliper issues since 2010.
I would say 17" wheels are minimum size to fit the brakes (Same as 4th generation sport and limited)
I will get back with the extended stainless steel brake lines part numbers I used later today

Thanks for the writeup! I'm about to do mine and I need to do calipers because I think i have the common frozen caliper issue.
Are these a direct bolt up. Anything you needed to do for the install other than normal? Do the brake lines need to be done or will the old work? Also where did you get the caliper's from, part #?
I'm very interested in this because so many have had the 'frozen caliper' issue and this could be a good solution
