please search regarding this, as we have a few DIY's with pics on how to do this..

only key things are that you need to cut the dust shield lip - since the rotors are bigger and the 4 rear bolts are M12x1.75x35mm, so if you dont get the oem bolts when you find the brembos, then you will need to buy some from a dealer or at least grade 10.9 from a local hardware store..prefereably flanged hex head zinc coated.

ss lines, get z1 motorsports from georgia...

The shields are usually part of the hub assembly, finding them individually is far and few between.

Like JasonZ-Ya said look in the DIY section and you will find everything you need to complete the swap.

once again, if you dont get the rear mounting bolts for the rear calipers...you will need to buy some as the NON brembo bolts wont work..
