Will '03 Brembos bolt on to '05 ?

I am planning on updating to an '05 or '06 soon and I am wondering if it is worth it to keep my original '03 Brembo's and do a swap? Does anyone know if the mounting points are the same? I am assuming the rotors are different sized but can I get a confirmation on this please.

Thanks!!

You would need to swap everything over from the Brembo setup including calipers, rotors, lines, pads.

isn't the brembo calipers bigger than the OEM stock calipers on the 05?
If so, you might also need bigger brackets to bolt the brembos.

Yes, hence why I said it would be much easier swapping over the entire Brembo package.

I was planning on new pads, ss lines, slotted rotors anyway.

But did they change the mounting points where they would not bolt on?

I would imagine you would probably need the spindle as well. Could be possible that the only difference is the mounting holes on the actual caliper. Just have someone with 05 measure the distance between 2 bolts. and compare them to yours.

You could just order a set of stoptechs as well, unless your getting a bomb price on the used brembo's you may want to consider a BBK.
