My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
I kind of wanted to do 2 things simulatenously if I did that - get some opposed piston calipers, but keep the 330mm rotor size so my spare will fit, and not spend a ton of money. The craziest calipers that fit this are for an 04-10 VW Toureg or Porsche Cayenne, the 17Z versions are made for a 330mm rotor and are 6 pot brembos. There is an 18Z version that was on the turbo cars that's even bigger at 350mm. You can buy a pair easy for $250 or less on the 17Z. Piston area is about 15% more than a cobra brake set.
17Z
18Z
I'm also not sure about getting that to clear varius suspension stuff like the tie rod / strut rod / sway bar. On the original applicaiton they are front mount, however, it seems possible to swap the crossover tube and bleeders side to side on the calipers and do rear mount, so the leading and trailing pistons are still in the proper orientation. Would also need a 32mm wide brake disk with enough offset to clear the wheels.
I could CAD model all this stuff if I had all the dimensions for everything handy already, but I don't.
The Hotchkis arms hit everything on the back unfortunately, you can see the arm is just so low back there and given that this is drooped out, it just crams into it. They'll even hit the stock calipers if they are rear mounted.
