Default track model Brembo's on my Enthusiast question

Are any modifications needed to replace my stock Enthusiast brakes with a Track model's Brembo package?

I may be purchasing from someone who is upgrading and am just wondering....

any info will help...
thanx!

Nope it's a direct swap, I did it a month ago. Just make sure you get all the bolts and his brake lines (unless your upgrading yours to stainless) Your current lines will NOT work with the new Brembo calipers.

Cool - so my stock brake lines will not work - good thing to know.... i will probably just go ahead and upgrade the lines and the rotors... did you do it yourself? if not how much for an install?

It is an easy install, IMO not worth to pay someone to do it.

I'm almost afraid to ask due to visions of high $. But does anyone know what the cost would be to upgrade the stock calipers (all 4) on an Enthusiast to Brembos? Dealer price? Other sources?

I plan to do a brake swap too. Will my current Volks hold these track brakes ok? (front) 18x8 +32 offset (rear) 18x9 + 40 offset.

I am not sure about offsets but they clear the stock 17" rims if that helps.
