Type R rear calipers
My car is a 2001 GSR. I put a StopTech big brake kit on the front and it is awesome. The stopping power is probably the best possible for this car. I did research on NSX brakes and other kits like Brembro, etc. but found StopTech to be the best.
I am happy with my big brakes on the front, but now my bias is like 90/10 or something crazy (I'm guessing) so I would like to beef up the rears a little.
Are Type R calipers bigger? I know the rotors are a larger diameter, but the guy I talked to at King Motorsports didn't know about the calipers (I was surprised). And if the ITR calipers are a little beefier, are they a direct bolt-on part? I know the fronts require a bit of mod grinding, but these are the rears.
Any other ideas? Calipers from a different car? Legend? Accord? Keeping in mind I don't want too huge of brakes on the back because I don't want the rear end swinging out if I need to brake on turns.

I've heard of people using 2001 Civic Si rear brakes, since they had the 4x100 pattern.
