Man are they huge and heavy

No plan to install them yet, but for sure they will be on my car before my BlackHawk event with the Lotus corps

By the way, the questions are on the pictures. Hopefully those who had swapped them before can provide some insights. TIA.

Dont be jealous (jus kiddin')

 

I;ve done the swap for someone. That bracket doesn't look familiar. Are they actually from a Z? The nut on the front is also on your non-brembo Z, its to keep the rear wheels from being mounted on the front hubs. you can remove it.

 

The bracket looks like the mount for the brake line junction block. The brake line is segmented w/ a metal "junction block."

Are you referring to the the front rotors? Wont it get in the way of the wheels getting in during mounting?

 

Michael, are you refering to the brackets on the rear calipers which i am asking about? Are they needed for the swap?

 

yes, the front rotors. you cant leave it in with stock wheels or take it out. wont make a difference.

 

i see, thanks 2003z

 

Has anyone purchased Track brembos from any Z owner or aftermarket that anyone knows of? I am wodring how much i could pick up a set for????

 

Correct, I am referring to the brackets. Whether you need them or not depends on if your brake lines has that junction block.

Michael.

 

i see, i am getting aftermarket lines, prob the stoptech lines and they dont have junction blocks, so does that mean i wont need the brackets and can disconnect them now? thx again Michael!

 

sorry for bringing this post up again, but for those who had done the swap, do i need to get new washers for the mounting bolts? or can i reuse the front ones since the front bolts are the same, but need to buy new washers for the rear ones?

Thx again!

 

any tips on what to use to clean the calipers and brake pads before the install??? i read about dust collector
thx again!

 

well, when i put mine on, i disassembled the pads from the calipers. then i sprayed a 50:50 mix of simple green and water wiping the calipers with a cloth. cleaned em right up.

 

daytona350z, did you get new washers when you put them on?
