If you're going to do the Brembos I'm pretty certain you'll need more than just the calipers. You'll be needing the rotors that go with them, pads of course, perhaps the hoses and the hardware used to anchor them. Because calipers are 'paired' with rotors by both OD, width and mounting height simply bolting the calipers to your spindle you'll be left to figure out why the rotors don't fit. Not good....

Depending upon the rear design of the Brembo shod car (which I admit I'm not up on those specs so so please ask) you may also find that there is an imbalance in the new brakes that was not there before. In short; consider replacing both ends of the car for maximum performance gains.

I think the bigger issue you'll find with this proposal is that it's not going to be as cost effective as the aftermarket offerings may be. I say "may" as I have no clue to the price of what you're expecting to pay. By the time you add some reasonable performance pads, ss braided hoses and do the leg work to shop all of it or hassle with the ebay-I-thought-it-would-fit thing even a few dollars more in the right place might have you enjoying the purchase with less headache. (come on now...we've all done it)

expect 700 or more to install and parts and u will need a uber big spacer like 15mm for the stockers....maven did a report on this for me a while back thats why i chose to do the time attack brake upgrade...oh and the bias is not that huge(brake force) mostly like 5% more on the fronts which u will bearly notice at all...so far only a hand full of people have done it since u need either the stock tc wheels or an aftermarket wheel of ur choice....

if u got a tc which im postive i would get the duplicolor caliper paint kit and buy the brembo stickers the white ones onlne like ebay...guy did it on here a few weeks ago and omg it was sexy as hell esp on the white tc...trust me it would be a easier and cheaper route for you!

and the rears are brembos.....
