Not sure about Libres... but I test fit some 13" Shelby "Minilites" yesterday over my EDP Maxima Caliper conversion... the only catch is I think the Maxima calipers are getting hard to find...

I ran 280zx with my libres. I had to file the corners down just a little to clear but they did fit. I'll see if I can fins some pics.

I would check with EDP on if the 200sx and Maxima Calipers are interchangeable...

You can check AutoZone, Orielly, NAPA for calipers as well. You tend not to get as many options, but would still let you run those brackets.

Both Maxima and 200SX are hard to find. I had a set of 200SX and sold them to get Maxima calipers. I am going to hook up parking brake and there was no way the 200SX would work because the parking brake cable mount is integral to the caliper and would have banged into everything. I think I got lucky and got the last full set of calipers/brackets from Rock Auto about 2 weeks ago. I bought some Lokar parking brake cables and will adapt to work.

Not sure if this helps but personally I would 'wait' for Maxima if you can...
