Will AMG brake calipers fit on our cars?
Will it fit?
Someone is selling a set of AMG calipers that came out of his 2013 SLS. Looking to get them bcs its on a good deal and will get a separate new bigger rotors with 5x100 hubs. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...caa490dc9b4bcf https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...0b7fdf5debe109 |
Short Answer is NO. Long answer is yes anything is possible with money and fabrication talent. I had EVO calipers installed on my car with a set of STI rotors. This took some real work and the calipers are basically the same as an STI caliper which bolt right up.
Not sure the savings you are getting on the calipers would be worth it unless you are an amazing fabricator. http://jademotorsports.com/stop-like-right-now/ |
^I'd second this. It would probably take more fabrication than it's worth. Especially when you consider that there are big brake kits out there that are designed specifically for the FRS/BRZ platform.

how much exactly is this "good deal" we're talking about for this? chances are, you can probably get a set of brand new bbk set up for a similar price and that have been tested and proven to be effective for our cars. i dont get this whole caliper swapping thing that's been going on.
it's a total show mod that actually increases possible danger to the driver, car, AND OTHERS on the road. |
know how to fabricate a bracket and reproportion brake valving and bias?
If yes, you can buy it. If not, you should not. |

The answer is absolutely NO. They have huge caliper pistons in order to stop a 4000lb car. Even if you fabricate custom rotors and adapter brackets, you would also have to change the master cylinder. With the increased piston area volume your ABS would not work properly either. Rafi |
