    Finally pulled the trigger...

    Well I picked up a set of all four brembos from a guy on evom for 375 shipped. What all else am I going to need other then pads, rotors, and lines? I know I have to get the stuff for the rear disc swap but what else? Do I need anything like brackets or anything?

    you need the EVO caliper bolts to hold the calipers to the knuckle, the 8g one are different. You can either buy them from the dealer which is kinda expensive or just buy them from a good hardware store. I dont know the size or thread pitch off hand.

    I wouldnt do spacers, too many horror stories of wheels comin' off on the fwy. Just wait to put em on when u can switch to some wheels that have the correct offset
    for the brembos...

    well if your wheels are at +48 and you need a +38 to clear, just use a 10mm insert style spacer over the bolt on spacers. as long as you torque the lug nuts to spec it shouldnt come off. if you're that worried just use some extended studs.

    Yea I was definitely planning on getting extended studs with the spacers. The wheels are a 42 offset but also has alot to do with the spoke design so I was thinking 10mm spacers would work

    he should be alright with 10mm but no more than that. Technically, 8mm should be the max. but some of my buddies have ran 10mm spacers on stock studs with no issues.

    R1 Concepts has alot of great parts such as SS Lines, rotors, & pads. I'd check their oinline store to see. I just ordered some more parts from them the other day. Never had an issue.
