Question on the Brembo brakes vs stock?

Is it possible to swap stock calipers, pads and rotors for the Brembo set if i found a set online here??? my gf is getting a G and i really wanted her to get a 6mt but she refuses... i drove one with the sport package that had the brembos and it was amazing!!! stock is good too, but i love the look! so is this possible?

im pretty good with mechanical things, so i could do it myself. thoughts, comments? appreciate it!

Aj

I dont think it should be a problem, but Im not sure about the brake lines, they maybe different. Order some stainless steel ones to help with the setup since youll be changing the brake fluid anyway! have fun

You need calipers, rotors, rear caliper bolts, and lines. You will also have to trim your rear splash shield

Is there a big difference in performance between brembo and the normal ones?

its the difference between stopping on a dime or stopping on a dime and getting some change back

wrong, the braking distances between both are negligable, the differences come into play at the track where the higher heat capacity of the brembos makes them shine
