Ive done it before with a CV joint.



I am aware of having to swap the bleeders and i do have the tools to be able to do this. Since these are brand new calipers it will be a lot easier to break the red thread lock that they use on them.

What rotors did you use and did you need spacers? Ive been trying to find the ones listen in the DIY and cant seem to find them.

I used DBA rotors. Next time I would rather use ap racing 2part rotors for weight saving but I know that won't be your concern. Pretty much everyone I've seen with the conversion has been using DBA. They're good stuff with a much larger heat capacity.

This is a purely aesthetic modification for me. I bought Enkei RS05RR and wrapped them with Bridgestone Potenzas so I think I am good with tires even though I will probably be doing no hard driving or track days.

Could you provide me with the part number for the DBA rotors? I know I have to get the ones that are dual drilled for our cars lug pattern but there are two different options on their catalog.

Yeah the fronts are BA4654S-10
Rears (non-slotted): DBA42656-10

The -10 denotes the dual drilled or 10 slot on all their products.

@eddyy Did you ever order those brakes from Autozone? I am showing out of stock for them unfortunately.

Not yet. They have them in stock at a local store near my house. I was waiting till I get back to pick up a set.

Lucky. Their website says In Stock, but they are definitely out of stock. Had an employee check and even called the main office. Post up pictures when you pick them up!

Attachment 195792

Did they include hardware for the pads? or mounting bolts for the hub?

I just ordered a full front/rear set to powdercoat, and was curious what they did/didn't come with.
