You should just need the following:<br /><br />1. front and rear rotors<br />2. front calipers/pads<br />3. front and rear brake lines<br />4. rear cobra brackets<br />5. rear anti-moan brackets<br />6. high temp brake fluid<br /><br />You don't need to change the rear calipers. I would recommend upgrading to SS lines all around. Call Maximum to get those. Also, upgrade your pads while you are at it too.<br /><br />Tips for the install:<br /><br />1. Front rotors can be a bitch to get off. Use a rubber mallet or wood and a hammer.<br /><br />2. Make sure to plug the lines when you pull them off to not loose too much fluid and NEVER let the MC run dry<br /><br />3. Follow the proper procedure to bed the pads<br /><br />4. You are gonna need to pull the rear axels out to remove the caliper brackets on the rear. Never done this before but I have heard it takes a bit of time.<br /><br />5. make sure to bleed everything properly or your shit will feel like a sponge<br /><br /><br />BTW, I have a set of freshly turned cobra rear rotors I'll sell you for $30 to get the ball rolling <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
