Hi all -

recently assembled all my parts for the akebono conversion. (FWIW - hawk hps / dba 4000 rotors / stoptech stainless lines / ate super blue.)

calipers have been refinished, repainted, and i'm pretty much ready to go on the install.

That said... I picked up the calipers used, from a sedan. The rear calipers did not include a bracket attached to the 2 ancillary bolts.

I've noticed some pictures of the calipers (in fs threads, etc) where the calipers have a black bracket between the bolts, that looks like it potentially secures a block for the brake lines.

Does anyone know if I need this bracket? Is it a coupe thing only?

Thanks in advance!!

 

Bracket for the front only

 

not the adapter bracket - this is the 07-08 forum; the akebonos bolt right up to the 07-08 cars without adapters.

I'm referring to the black bracket in the picture below, that sits between the two "extra" bolts on the rear caliper.

 

Idk what that is. Mine don't have that, they are direct bolt on for the rear
