anybody know if i can retrofit 2008 calipers pads and rotors to my 2003??
would this also require 2008 hubs? ebrakes?? i searched the faq's for retrofit data but came up empty.

anybody know what would be required to convert the rear suspension to 1 piece coilovers instead of separate spring and damper setup??


thanks,
bill

1. fronts for sure swap over - you'll need rotors, calipers, pads. Fronts from 06 + use a 2piston caliper and have larger rotors vs 03-05 non brembo cars. Rears I am fairly certain would too, but I can't fathom why you would bother, unless you're swapping a factory brembo setup in

2. you wouldn't want a true rear coilover in the back anyway unless you are building a full out, ***** to the wall race car and have lots of time and money invested in the rest of the rear setup. The spring is separate from the damper from the factory for a reason

 

+1. if youre going to do a swap, might as well save for a used OEM brembo setup; they are getting more and more affordable as time goes on. i dont think the increase from the 03-05 to 06+ brakes will be worthwhile or noticeable on the street or even in spirited driving. take that from me, ive owned 2 2003s and now own a 2006, and i dont notice
