If you have a second gen Paseo (96+) you can upgrade to the first gen Paseo brakes. They are bigger. You'll need the cailer mount and cailper.

Actually you only need the caliper bracket (and the larger rotor of course).
The caliper itself stays the same.

It's not a common item to replace, so it would likely be expensive from Toyota.
You should be able to find them easily at a junkyard or find someone who is parting out a car.
You can use a 92-95 Paseo, a 90-91 Corolla GTS, or 87-89 MR2. The front brakes are identical on each of those cars.
Edit: Actually, the front brakes are not 100% identical. The calipers/brackets/pads are identical. But the rotor is different, it has the same overall diameter, but the hub depth is different. You can only use the rotors from a 92-95 Paseo

Are you sure the Corolla caliper is identical Wedge? It sure appears to have a much larger piston.

Hmm... that's possible. I never looked at it that close.
I am positive they are interchangable. Even if there are minor differences.
