Question Before I get my Brembo install, what are these bolts?


I hope a member don't mind, I borrowed their picture for my thread.

Okay before I get my brakes installed. I have everything in the picture except the bolts circle in RED. What is it so I know what to pick up from the dealership? Also what are the bolts circle in Blue for? I am just curious.

And if you feel I am missing something else, feel free to let me know.

My guess is for the caliper mount points to the spindles.

I assume you're installing Brembos in place of the standard OEM brakes, right? The bolts for the rear are a different size than the bolts used on the non-OEM brakes so there should be 4 bolts for that. Not sure what the other four bolts would be for.

Yup I am upgrading from non Brembo to Brembo. So can is it safe to say the bolts in RED are for the rear? So which is for the front and which is for the rear?

Because I already have the ones in blue and want to be sure before ordering.

To tell you the truth, the ones in blue look like the ones I have left over after swapping mine out. I called the dealer and ordered 4 bolts for the rear Brembo brakes. The old front bolts still work on the front with the Brembos. The old rears don't work with the Brembos, you need new bolts.

I hope that helps without confusing you more.

Just go to the dealer and ask for the rear Brembo caliper bolts.

Nissan part# 080412351a for the correct rear caliper bolts!

Thank you Xzero.

I ordered mine from the dealership Saturday (they weren't in stock) and expect them on Thursday.
