Check to make sure that the bolt spacing (for the two bolts that bolt them to the steering knuckle) is the same as yours; the later calipers use larger bolts, spaced farther apart. If they come with 2 bleed valves now, that's a bonus. But make sure you get them installed on the proper sides; even with 2 valves, there is a L and R.
