twin piston calipers will bolt on but remember to get the backin plate with them other wise you have to hack into you old plate, no biggy but just takes time. you will also need a set of twin piston rotors. as mentions efi from 94? (i think onwards).

beter option is get a set of 4.8 patrol calipers and rotors. thens it'll pull up real well. but will need 17" rims :lol:

is it possible to simply( yeah right) bolt on twin piston setup onto a MQ knuckle or is the bolt spacing different?

you will need the rotor and the mounting bolts that hold the caliper to the rotor as the twin pot bolts are shorter
