You also need to consider piston bore sizes in relation to the standard calipers among a multitude of other things. Just bolting on any calipers won't necessarily give you better brakes.

Tarox and Alcon do a caliper that will fit under the standard wheels. Otherwise you'll have to change them. I think unless you are going for a bigger disc then leave them standard.

It is a great deal of work to change the disc and caliper - you can't just swap bits over. \:\(
