Porsche brembo caliper brake swap for 473$
Now, after much reading, the final step in my swap. I did not count this in the total for the swap because it is unnecessary. There are many cheaper ways to secure hardware. But I think this is extremely cool.
I purchased a safety wire drilling fixture off www.aircraftspruce.com to drill all the mounting hardware for safety wire, and boy, was it a large undertaking. I probably went through 20+ 1/16 drill bits. Turns out the cheap Milwaukee black oxide drill bits worked the best.
I have driven my car with this setup for a couple weeks now. In all normal conditions for me. Daily driving, higher speeds on the highway, and hard braking sometimes. While it still needs to be tuned in better, it is way better than my last setup which was the standard 73+ single piston caliper and 10 inch rotor.
One thing I like about the swap is the WHOLE rotor face is being utilized by the brake pad during its sweep. My factory hardware did not do this.
I’ll be proofreading this in the days to come. So don’t be surprised if each post gets edited slightly. Thank you for reading through this thread!
