possible brenbo brake conversion

i have an 06 sssc n i want to get the brembo brakes that are on the new tc's and i was wondering if it would fit my spindles or would i have to get new ones. if so has anyone done this is it more hassle than it is worth. is there a better aftermarket option? if its as simple as getting the calipers n rotors boltin them on n go that would be great! thanks

Its no harder than changing your current brakes.

is there a better aftermarket option?
No.

if its as simple as getting the calipers n rotors boltin them on n go that would be great! thanks
This has been discussed many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many times.

Calipers, pads, rotors, pin kit, hoses, wheels that fit.

brakes are so easy to work on...this would be an easy swap. Id say if you are considering it, go for it.

They are pink, just like your TWB.

IIRC someone checked and said it took a 5/8" spacer to clear. Thats too much unless you upgrade your wheel studs.

trino there is no way to know its not the offset of the wheel its the space to the spokes themselves. Best bet is to offer up the wheel to a TC someone around you must have one make friends! that will tell you. Sorry i can not be more help.

18's will work, 17s as well. its the clearance for the calipers that you have to be worried about, they're much wider than the SC's.
