BBK calipers on stock rotors.
That would be almost completely pointless from a performance standpoint...
Beside pad composition and a marginally larger pad surface area, the main benefit of a BBK is increased rotor thermal capacity due to its larger size. In short, I would be much more concerned with the diameter of my rotors as opposed to the size of my calipers.
My guess is you are only asking this question for aesthetic reasons?

LOL I love how you guys jump to conclusions and assume so much. You should have been on OJ's jury.
I was having a discusion with a aheeem (Mustang) guy at work and we got to talking about BBK's. I told him I have been toying around with the idea of getting a BBK front and rear for future track days and looks but they are kinda pricy. I do push my car fairly hard out on the backroads too and have noticed some minor fading now and then, mostly in the warmer months.. Probably don't really need a BBK for those times but for track days I want.
He says why don't you just buy the calipers and use the stock rotors if you want the look. If you want performance on a budget, get slotted rotors, braided lines and pads instead.
I'm well aware of upgrading the stock brakes, with rotors, pads and lines but I told him, I don't think BBK calipers would fit anyway. He said he's seen people do it on other cars. I agree with the other dude, it's pointless without larger vented rotors and told him so.
Told him again I want performance and better looks as well. I was curious if anybody had heard of this before.

You could go OEM brembo, they use approximetly the same sized rotors as the dual piston OEM setup, but you'd have to purchase the brembo rotors as well, but the rotor size is essentially the same which is what your concern was
