Considering the Milliena is a different chassis and has a 5 bolt hub etc, it is probably not possible unless you wanna spend time and money making it work. It would probably be easier to do a rx7 brake swap or something in that case.

The Sumotomo caliper for a RX-7 are a pain in the rear end to adapt to a car with a FWD offset. You would need to fabricate adaptor bracket, find rotors with more back spacing and need pretty this wheel spacers for the wheels to clear the calipers. Also no one will sell you the calipers unless you have a set of core that you can send to them first because they are in that short of supply.

Without having one in hand. it probably be easier just to adapt the caliper to the BG/ EC knuckle than to swap the whole this because the Milliena is a multi link suspension like a B5 chassis Audi A4/ VW Passat

A better option would be like a set of PBR 2 piston floating calipers from a Mustang, RX-8 or even some Ford Taurus. For a OE non floating multi piston caliper the Ford Focus RS calipers are almost a direct bolt in but require a bigger and thicker rotor.
