2nd Gen. Brake Caliper & Rotor Measurements

I've checked a few pages of the archives but can't find what i wanted. I'm in the process of designing a chassis for a vintage ferrari replica and have been told that 2nd Gen. 4 piston calipers fit under 15" rims, is this right?
Could someone do me a favour and take the LxWxH measurements of their 4 pot calipers and measurements of rotor thickness and diameter to within 5mm or 1/4 inch. If someone knows the factory specifications that would be even better.
I need the measurements so i can design a knuckle with the king pin inclination angle i want.

Yes. Some models, including mine, come stock with the four piston calipers under 15s.

I checked the FAQ, (like I should have, head not switched on) and found measurements for rotor thickness, 22mm, diameter, 10.9 inches, pad area etc however no measurements for the calipers.

Confirmation that the brakes fit inside 15-inch rims is great. So far the only things on paper are the front track, tires and rims but now I have the rotor dimensions I can get on with the hub, knuckle design etc. Having the caliper measurements would be good just to pen them in.

Thanks for your help.
