Swapping from brembos to base slider brakes, will my brake lines still work for the base model brakes? Or do I need different brake lines/hardware?

 

Why are you doing this? And yeah they should

 

Stick with Brembo's man

 

I'll take the Brembos lol

 

So the base model brakes are just a drop in? I sold the brembos

 

For the most part yes, although if you have an 03-04, I would suggest changing to the 05-07 brakes rather than base model 03-04 brakes. Larger diameter brakes.

I've never seen anyone go backwards, but it's a pretty simple swap for 03-07 guys adding the brembos.

Out back, you'd need to trim the dust shield a tad for the larger rotor, and get the calipers spec'd for the 05-07 with the larger pad support bracket for the larger diameter rotor.

Up front, just slide on the rotor and bolt up the caliper.

I do not know about the brake lines or banjo bolts though.

There are a few DIY's floating around from base brakes to Brembos and 03-04 brakes to 05-07 brakes. Might want to take a peek at those to get a better idea.

Master cylinder is a different bore diameter, but I have yet to see someone swap that our, or complain about the pedal feel. If the brakes feel hard/soft after the swap, might want to explore changing this to the proper diameter MC

 

So you have a car with no brakes?... or are they still on there but you have agreed to sell them to someone.

I am still stuck on the notion of why you would ever remove them and go to the non-Brembos. The Brembos are so far superior to non-Brembos on the 2003 and 2004 Coupes.

 

I sold them because I got a good price and he gave me his base brakes plus cash

what are the sizes/dimensions and thread pitches of the caliber bolts that hold the caliber to the hub?

 

Because I'm nice...

can somebody please confirm what size bolts the caliper is held onto the hub by

 

Anybody

 

de-val-ue, to lessen the value of

 

You wouldn't get any more cash out of a car with brembos at this point so you might as well sell the brembos. Can someone tell me the size of the calipers bolts

 

de-sir-a-ble worth having! Without the Brembos your G is less desirable, forget the $$ value you may have lost...Gary

 

Thread pitch diameter?


Just go to the dealer and ask them to look up the bolt P/N. I'm sure they are $10 each but they might list specs. Or you could search the P/N and see if the specs are listed.

Other than that, unless someone has a set handy and has the means to measure thread pitch and dia, it's a hard question to answer.



And, I would have to agree that vehicle value has been diminished now. The 6MT market is so niche that people looking for that particular car will see the brakes have been removed and either move on to another car, or want a discount.
