The only thing you need to upgrade are the fronts. You can get all new calipers, rotors, brake lines, & hardware for ~$1100 if you shop around.

Obviously there is some flexibility on the price as to whether you paint/powdercoat the front calipers, go with different rotors (I like the Brake Performance slotted/dimpled rotors for $265, PN #RB-62128), or do any modifications with the rears (change rotors, paint/powdercoat calipers, upgrade rear lines).
I am looking at ~$1350 for mine, but I'm painting all 4 calipers, replacing all 4 rotors with the ones listed above (rears are a different part number), upgrading pads, changing to DOT4 fluid, and upgrading to stainless steel brake lines. I'm also doing the install myself.
Install is relatively straight forward and you can do yourself, or you could pay to have a shop do it. You would have to call the shop to find out what they'll charge. |
Thanks... that was very helpful. Couldn't you purchase the red/black/yellow Brembro calipers instead of getting them powder coated?
Let me know how it all works out when you are done with your upgrade. Sounds like it's a must for this car. Don't like the current brakes.
Again, thank you for the info.
