2008 front sti brembos finally on my fozzy

fourortwowheels · 08-24-2008, 03:46 PM

i couldnt resist slapping these bad boys on last night. i havent addressed the rear brake situation yet, but i will be sporting an h6 RB kit soon.

who cares if they even stop, they look so nice

heres the skinny;
2008 front sti calipers and OEM pads
goodridge SS brake lines
DBA 4000 rotors slotted

i think i got a bum MC, so right now i only have the smaller MC in. will tackle that 2morrow, if it doesnt work ill just get another...

i also now need some power to back up the brakes!

The calipers are the same for 5X100 or 5X114 right? Isnt it just the rotors that are different?

fourortwowheels · 08-25-2008, 09:13 AM

thanks!

Adam, they look horrible. Sell them to me so that it matches my Foz.

sirwilliam · 08-25-2008, 06:26 PM

You inspired me to pull the trigger. F&R Gold brembos purchased. Only come w/ pads but they are in great shape. Now comes the other expensive part... new rotors, lines, pads, and rear brake caliper adapters w/ special adapter rotor.

Hopefully, I will not regret this decision.

i dont think you will! if the brembos you bought need some refurb, paint em black w/ blue brembo stickers!

There is a rub on top of one of the front calipers but you won't see it when it is installed and the rest of them look perfect. I specifically wanted the gold to look OEM and it matches my WRB & Gold better. They are to be shipped out to me today. I am a little excited

but if for some reason I change my mind it would be very easy to get what I payed for them back...but don't think I will change my mind.
