So I finally put some time in to install 6 pot Front Brembos I got off Ebay from Vivid Racing and slotted Powerslot/Stoptech rotors up front.
Everything looked easy cheesy except for the way there are 3 SS brake lines 2 routing blocks (see your oem brakes). Total took me 9 hrs to install including lunch break, crosshatching/cleaning oem rotors for storage, and bleeding and bed in drive......dont know where the time went, but probably cause I installed matching rear Ferrodo pads as well.
First thing is that I am impressed with the Brembos!! Quality piece and from Italy!! Very light as well compared to the Sport Akebonos and got a head rush bedding in the pads last night....
Here are some pics not of the install, but of the job. Also are pics of the tools I used to make it a much easier job and less time if you have it...
Took some time to figure how to do it the easiest and cleanest way w/o a lot of brake fluid mess..
1. Take off wheels,
2. Take off calipers with 22mm socket....top bolt is tough to get off and you need to take off the block/metal brake line from the strut and closest to body to manuever. You need to disconnect the banjo bolt/line from Caliper and cap off with a 1/4" vacuum tube to prevent brake fluid leak..
3. You will need to cut the brake shield nearest the caliper bracket supplied by Brembo,...cutoff tool is good, a SHARP CHISEL and hammer is the quickest and fastest... I used a hammer to blunt and sharp edges...
4. Rest is easy,..easier if you have replacement rotors as I bought slotted ones off Riverside Infinity from Ebay...if not, you can use a sander to cross hatch your old rotors or got to shop to have em turned...You will NEED A 10MM HEX socket to mount Brembo bracket to oem location...luckily I had such a tool already...
5. Button up the rest and bleed brakes and test drive to bed pads in..
Result is quicker stopping distance and being track ready..
Tools you'll need: 10mm hex socket or alternative, Chisel and hammer, Anti seize for bolts, torque wrench,..
Routing of SS lines and routing blocks...
money shot:
Done! Just need to bleed and bed in...
