I have the 5at coupe and Im looking to put the brembo brakes on because I can get the calipers fairly inexpensive and dont have the money for a 5 grand endless kit lol... what else do I need other than the calipers to do the swap correctly?

 

Mounting brackets, rotors, SS brake lines, correct pads and thats it.

Out of curiousity, where did you find the inexpensive calipers? I've been looking myself. Thanks

 

There are no mounting brackets, but you do need the front?(or rear, can't remember) mounting bolts from the brembos.

 

No brackets on our car? Are you 100% sure about that? Doesn't make sense, but ill take your word for it. The bolts have to be bigger then.

-Sean

 

Yes, the "brackets" are built into the caliper

 

 

^ very cool! Well i guess he will need a different bolt, but it doesn't even look like he will need that...

-Sean

 

There's a place near my town that is basically a G junkyard. Anything and everything and the guy owns a body shop/paint shop. He rebuilds the ones that are in minor wrecks and parts the hell out of the other ones.





So wait...if that's all I need are rotors and SS brake lines which ones should I order? Any other parts?

 

nothing???

 

be sure to get some decent brake pads like endless or hawk hps

i'm intrigued by the 'junkyard' pm me details

 

You will need four bolts for the rear caliper b/c they are gonna be different than the non brembo brakes

 

+1 and remove the non-brembo rear dust covers...hope this will help

 

I think I might just have the guy at the place install them with some endless brake pads ill order. He said he'd charge like 150 bucks to do it.

 

You can get some decent rotors from g35parts.com (Centric rotors) to fit the Brembos, or you can find many choices for slotted/drilled (like dba 4000XS) and do a search for choice of brake pads. For the street, I'm partial to the OEM pads, but others like the Project mu NS and the Nismo pads as well.
