Caliper brackets

Has anyone ever seen if the Gen 2 caliper brackets will bolt onto a Gen 1.5 (95-99) strut housing? I need to know if the spacing is the same for a brake upgrade for my GP.

I managed to find a Gen 2 caliper brakcet today and compared it to the Gen 1.5 strut housing. Not even close, the Gen 1.5 bracket holes are are 3/4 inch farther out on each sdie. Has anyone ever tried to put larger brakes on a Gen 1.5? Is thare any bigger caliper bracket that may work?

I seem to recall a topic a few months back, about someone doing the same thing, and using J body brackets, but it also required longer wheel studs and a spacer behind the rotor...

 

Perhaps instead of going for bigger rotors, maybe look for a strong caliper?
