Yes you reuse the OEM bolts. The main concern with those calipers is that they are FULLY aluminum, including the threads in the mounting ears. MANY people have had to Heli-coil/Time-Sert those holes with steel inserts because the bolts either practically welded themselves to the calipers through galvanic corrosion OR they damaged the threads while removing the bolt. My personal set (still torn apart over a year later  ) has Time-Sert steel inserts just because I wanted to prevent any possibility of downtime in the future due to a #&*^ed thread. |
I'm not sure ghetto is the right wording. But yes, optimally, a matched front and rear setup is desired. Sometimes in racing you have to pick and choose your mods wisely.
I will caution, that unless one is doing this upgrade for a car with more power or some kind of sanctioned racing, or purely aesthetics, these brakes are a waste of time and money.
On the second half of that, use a ton of antisieze because 80% of the brembos we remove for rotor replacements end up having to be helicoiled.
