Aluminum front calipers - will any fit?

looking to replace the fronts with lighter aluminum units, can any be modified to work? Or even direct fit?

SSBC (Stainless Steel Brake Corp) Has an aluminum 2pot (pot=piston, A British term so you know when you see this) direct replacement caliper for the single piston iron calipers on the 10.5" rotor setups.

It still uses the factory front brake pad size so finding pad replacements is no problem in the future.

you even get several different choices in colors and finishes. That is the "kit" price for two fronts calipers.

Wonder if they save any weight?
