i'd say any that ya want armourguard... just remember that the newer calipers will probably require a bit more fluid/pressure in em to activate correctly.. not 100% sure on this but i think rokhound had a little trouble with this when he upgraded his monsters brakes on the rear.... he might chime in with a bit of insight...

i'm going subaru leonie calipers.... :wink:
