Retro Fit PP Brembo Brakes - Questions
 
I have a set of PP Brembos to retro-fit on my 2013 BRZ. I have been unable to find the answers to the following questions, perhaps there may be others that are familiar with the swap that could assist:

1) Are my existing (stock) 2013 brake lines compatible?

2) The rear mounting caliper bolts - will my existing bolts suffice? (I have bought new ones for the front calipers)

Thanks

The brake lines will fit.

As for the rear bolts, you will need new ones, I think.

By way of follow-up to this thread, yes new bolts were required on both front and rear. The front bolts are longer (to accommodate tie bar) and the rear bolts a different pitch.
Also, whilst the brake lines fit there is a curvature to the banjo bolt steel sections that is different on the Brembo ones - therefore do not suggest using non-oem brake lines on Brembo calipers.
For anyone reading this, also note that new front and rear dust shield plates are required (unless you want to butcher your existing ones with an angle grinder which I don't advise. you don't want cut metal edges near brake hoses)

I'm still gathering all of the parts, thanks for this update. The rear dust shields are hard to find in the US, but I agree if you're going to do it, do it right.
