Heedz Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I was running DBA 4000's all around with different pad set ups. 235/45 dunlop starspecs/Continental DW tire sets I just got a good deal, if that deal wasn't there I probably would've done the same without brembos.

ragman Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 brembos are an awesome upgrade if you can score/put together a cheap package...and I stand by that statement even on a street car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragman Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Put the rears on. You have to come up with some more money to get the rear brackets, and the special rear brake line ends, but IMO it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 You can use the stock rear lines.

ragman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 For the best fitment on the rear, I'd recommend getting the custom rear brembo stainless lines from http://www.brakeswap.com Using their rear line (their custom piece is just the last 4 inches), the line fits between the two nubs on the caliper like its supposed to. They include it in a full stainless line kit (front and rear), or I'm pretty sure they will sell you just that short one on the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyscoodle Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Any lgt fitment SS lines will work in the rear. You will need the bracket to mount the caliper, and for the rear ebrake you need either the thicker shoes and any 04 sti rotor, OR you can use the lgt/brembo swap conversion rotors which allow the use of your existing ebrake setup. I think running the thicker shoes is better because then you can choose from any replacement 04 sti rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1astrokeit Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I plan on using sti rotors and parking brake shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1astrokeit Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 i went to break down the calipers and get them ready for powdercoating and one of the bleeder screws is seized in there. my question is, is this fixable? if so how can i fix this.

Sbui Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I believe I have the hubs as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1astrokeit Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 i havent done the install yet. if the hubs bolt up then you shouldnt need the adapters for the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
