I have an 04 Coupe 6mt. It originally came with brembos, but the previous owner had them replaced with the stock single piston brakes, and the car stops like a$$! I've finally gotten around to remedying the situation, and am in the process of order a set of brembos from another fellow member.

The set comes with calipers, pads, rotors and SS lines. I am curious about what else I would need, if anything, to make this a full bolt-on install.

The rear dust shields are still from the brembos (much bigger than the rotors on there right now).

Please give me feed back as to what other hardware (bolts, brackets, etc..) I might need at this point. I tried searching but haven't found any clear definitive answers.

Thanks

 

damn that sucks. i hope u got a nice discount for the downgrade

 

Got the car a few years back, was still in school, so didn't want to drop the coin for the brembos. Got it for a good price, took me forever to find my color combo though, IP/Black, 6mt fully loaded. Love the car but it stops like a$$ ( as previously mentioned) lol

 

lol at the big dust shields on small brakes. Are they bigger than the rotors ATM?

Brembos will bolt right up with what you already have hardware wise.

 

They are way bigger than the rotors, and it sucks because I live on a hill and park downhill all the time, so my ebrake gets loose. I can't wait to have proper braking power on this car, it's been long overdue, and I'm glad that the opportunity came along.

Thanks for the feedback, I figured it was direct bolton, but wanted to make sure.

 

you'll need the rear caliper mounting bolts

 

the ebrake can be tightened. theres a diy or pay dealer $60

 

+ 1...get yourself some good Brake lines as well if you haven't done so already. I got Goodridge.

 

welll thats good to know...i didnt think the bolts in the rear were any different?? so is it just the 2 bolts that hold the actual caliper you are talking about mark (i think thats your name)??

i just got my brembo setup for my 05 sedan and i have everything but the rear bolts

 

^yup, just the rear mounting bolts. 2 for each caliper.

 

sweet thanks for letting me know i will go to the dealer and buy em.

thanks again!

 

I did a quick search but couldn't find the part number or a seller online. If you have a part number or a link, it'd be much appreciated.

 

Also, does anyone have suggestions on rotors and/or pads. I've been getting Project MU NS pads for my non-brembo set up, and have been very happy with them, but they are pricey, and not sure if there is something better out there for the brembos.

Second question might be silly, but I've seen mixed reviews about SS lines. Does it make a principle difference between Goodrich/Stoptech or more generic ones like Technafit?

 

as someone said, you will need rear caliper bolts.

also, if your SS lines come with the banjo bolts then you are fine. Otherwise, the banjo bolts from the non-brembos are actually too long for the brembos. My (used) SS lines didn't come with banjos, so I had to pay someone to open up a new SS line package and sell me the banjo bolts separately lol.

 

Where can I buy the rear caliper bolts? Do any of the online retailers sell them, or do I have to go to my local dealer? And what is the part number so that I know what to get?
