09 front brakes on my 06

just wondering if anyone has put the new and better brakes from the 09 on an older bike. Ive got an 06 and was wondering if they would fit?

No I did not know that the 09's had better calipers. I put the 07 6r nissin calipers on my 06 10r with great success. I am now curious too.

i was actually thinking about putting newer calipers on my 06 zx6r. because to be honest the 06 brakes aren't exactly the cream of the crop. could i put the 07 or 08 calipers on?

the 07's stop like a dream, i had new pads put on with my new rotors and it stops even better. freakin amazing. although these new pads are louder, i suppose i can suffer lol.
