Even if they are universal, you may have to change out your MC to compensate for the new volume to provide proper brake feel and clamping power.

I've changed my MC in my other car, and it proved to be a very daunting task.

No b/c they provide the same volume as stock calipers.

Really.. the Master cylinder on the CL-S is cake... 2 lines off and 2 (10 mm) nuts to take off... CAKE..

I had to bench bleed mine since I had my braking system open for about 3 weeks...
