Title: What Big brakes are direct bolt on to the FD\'s?
Post by: YAU730 on April 21, 2014, 01:09:17 AM
Always want big brake setup on the FD but the only kit i will settle for are the Endless which are hugh money.

Been looking about n see Evo7 n onwards Brembo can fit? Has anyone done this here n know the steps? These are a cheaper options then the Endless.

Aston Martin brakes are a direct fit and considerably cheaper in the long run, forgot which exact model you need but a friend of mine is running them, think you need 18" wheels to run big brakes though

The brake Discs will fit as they are the same stud pattern but the calipers wont .  You will need an adapter to make the caliper fit...

Yes that is true my point is though there are more options then d2 and other "specific" big brake kits where aftermarket discs/ rotors etc cost more than the original kit,
