You could probably upgrade the front brakes on a FC to the FD (RZ model) that was JDM only.
They require you run 17" rims minimum. I'm sure they are a direct bolt on. As the front disc rotor on a FC and FD are the same, as well as the mounting points for the caliper. I doubt they would've updated the hub and upright from 1993 to 2002.

NO! The rotors are different from the FC to the FD, ANY FD. THEY DON'T FIT! The offset is different, it's only the calipers that are the same.
While 300ZXTT brakes might work, it's extremely unlikely that it'll be an easy fit. At very least you'll need adapters for the calipers.

the thread mentioned a Mercedes rotor.the Bolt pattern was correct,but you have to Make the Center Bore Bigger.(lathe).The FD calipers would require a Spacer to make them Wider to fit onto the Rotor.(so basically you split them in Half,and add a spacer and Seal them back up..not touching the pistons at all).
