Default Front Brembo's

Hi all

Quick question..

Anyone know if there is a conversion kit to put Brembo's on a classic?

I know the rear conversion kit (already done), just can't find one for the fronts!

Cheers

No kit needed. Everything will just bolt straight on.

If it comes with discs they need to be pre 2005 (ie 100PCD), if you need new discs and pads, give me a call and sort you our a good deal.

Just to double check, a mate of mine did his fronts on his classic and said he needed to use reinforcement brackets that allowed him to use the large Brembo bolts as opposed to the smaller caliper bolts.

Any ideas people?

Its just a harmonic balancer , which you don't need.

Just go ahead and fit them straight on

Cheers Ian, so they will go on without the harmonic balancer with the larger brembo bolts? My mate seems to think they will hit the disc??

Is it best not to get them if i can?

The calipers will be coming to you for a refurb first anyway when:
1) I actually manage to buy some front calipers! (Money waiting for anyone wanting to sell)
2) I can get the car off the road for long enough to take the rears off! (End of the month i think)

They should do as the balancer is only a couple of mm's thick.
Early STi's didn't have them fitted , and I have never noticed a difference in car with or without them fitted
