Default 06 caliper swap for an 03 question

hey everyone, i'm in the process of swapping out the front calipers on my 03 with the 06 calipers and was curious to see if i needed the 06 caliper mounting bracket for the install or would the 03 suffice? i understand the calipers and rotors up front are bigger but before taking anything off i just wanted to make sure...and if i do need to get a different mounting bracket where would i get such part and for how much?

Thanks in advance!

I am doing the same thing on my 03, you won't need a bracket, its already built into the caliper bracket. Hopefully have them on in a few months.

You will need the bracket, i've done it. The caliper is larger , and the bracket that hold its is also larger/made to fit the different caliper and rotor.

The rear, only the bracket and rotors is needed. The calipers are the same.

Thats what I am saying, you have to have the whole caliper assembly. Just not the caliper.

post pics of all the parts you have. Dealer or junkyard is the only place for the brackets.
