View Full Version : Sorry - ANOTHER Brembo conversion question!

OK, my brakes are rubbish! I've not had "a moment" or anything, but I can only just force the ABS to kick in under short "emergency stop" style braking, and trying to stop quickly from any sort of speed is, well, I can't! (And they're already much better now than they were when I got the car!)

I realise a set of new discs and Carbotechs all round would probably do the job, but I wanted to get my calipers painted sometime anyway, so figured I might as well stretch a bit further and go for the Brembo upgrade.

I've already got the post-facelift hub carriers and 18" alloys which seem to be Evo compatible, so besides the usual mods needed for fitting Brembo rears, and possibly some bolts, am I right in thinking either of these should bolt right on?

Yep the top ones will fit but i do know the current bidder so you will have compettion , the second ones should be fine but he has described them as rally / race so they may need new seals , ask him if them are from a road car

Cheers for the heads up. I've emailed the seller about the second set so we'll see what they say...
