Heres a video I put together of my big brake upgrade. There was a couple hiccups but we got it all done. This should help you in the future.

Cost for the parts???

 

This setup is approx $3K

 

I thought that setup was like 3k for just the fronts?

 

Fronts $2300
Rear $1300
So $3600, give or take in which options you choose

 

That's actually pretty comparable to the brembo 6th gen swap

Wonder if they offer 9inch backing plates

 

$4600 shipped

 

I don’t know which options you chose but it was no more than $4K shipped for my setup.

 

Yeah pricing wasn’t too far off once you powder coated 6th gen calipers. I went with this setup bc it will still clear the factory 17” wheels. The 6th gen setup won’t.

 

I made the swap to 18's a long time ago, but I'd need spacers for the 6th gen stuff. I got a deal on used set several years back, but still need rotors

May unload them and go this route

 

I have 18s but just in case I needed to put my stock wheels on, I didn’t want to run into an issue. Also, I didn’t like the idea of spacers either.

 

For a street car, I don't see the need to do the rears. You could simply add a little more aggressive rear pad if you feel the balance is off. If this is for track, that's completely different.

 

This is for street, strip and show. Looks so much better with a matching set than the factory. Especially with an open face wheel

 

Thanks for sharing all this info and posting the video btw. Nice to see how the install goes.

I may reach out after the holidays and see if they have options for a 9 inch rear end

 

What did they machine so the rotor didn't contact the backing plate for the rear brakes???

Do you have the detroit speed fender brackets??? I noticed it looked like they lifted your car on the pinch welds.

If your pinch welds aren't mutilated I highly recommend them.

 

We machined the rear rotor hats so they wouldn’t make contact with the new backing plates.

yeah, the fender brackets are on my list on things to buy but mine are pretty good still. Fenders are still flush.
