Surely some one must know. Or have fitted them on.

Yes they're a direct fit... Wheel clearance will be your problem as the calipers are much larger than the 4 pots you will be replacing. Which wheels have you got fitted?

Black or gold fronts will go straight on with the Brembo discs, you will need to remove the dust covers off the hubs.... You will need new brake lines for the conversion they do a kit slightly longer in length to suit.

The hoses are all the same length , the standard hose from his car will fit.

The only difference in front hoses from a classic to a new age car , is how they fit onto the front strut
