Default Working on putting on some Brembo calipers

Ok so I have decided I don't like the look of the stock calipers and have purchased these.



These are radial mount calipers and will obvously need a radial mount adapter.

Does anyone know where I can get one or maybe someone here can machine me some?

I already have the big tenzo rotors.


Thanks in advance.

reguardless of what he is doing it for. his stopping power will increase as well as his resistance to brake fade...let him spend his money as he sees fit.

I've fitted those to a peugeot. They are very fat callipers and most wheels will have clearance problems. Particularly with standard offset wheels.

You also want to make up stainless plates to fit behind the pads, not only do they squeal like absolute bitch's, the pads sieze into the calliper body rendering them almost useless!

However, they're amazingly good brakes. Good luck.

Clearance should not be an issue as I have 18 inch wheels.

I would also like to try some on the rears but as we all know the rear rotors are so thin that calipers won't work. Since I have to adapt I was thinking maybe I can get another set of front rotors and ise them on the rear as well.

Suggestions?

Yeah doing it mainly for the looks...

I picked up the calipers for 350 bucks..... I figure 200 to 300 more for adapters.
