Sandy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hello Folks, I'm thinking about upgrading my brakes on my 2003 Zed (JDM) to the brembo's that come on the UK model. What will I need?? Thanks in advance for any advice Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hee hee thats where I plan to get the calipers if I go ahead with the upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I did this.... You will need 4 Brembo Calipers 4 Brembo Discs 8 Brembo Pads (4 Front 4 Rear) 4 rear Caliper bolts Hoses (Depends on style) >Oem Solution you will need - 4 small hardlines ( Again 2 front 2 rear) 8 Flex hoses (either braided or Rubber) >Hose Solution Hel set Single set of Brembo Lines And some brake fluid (probs about 1.5ltrs to allow for spillage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I suggest you get the HEL braided lines as Dan points out above. Makes installation a lot easier, only 4 lines stright to the callipers, rather than a mixture of hard and soft lines Ask Alex how to remove the lines without spilling the fluid too, it will make bleeding them a lot easier than if you let the fluid drain too much.

dcash5 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well personally I would only do this when your brake discs and pads need changing to make this a logical cost! But rough ideas Calipers - £400 Brake Discs - OEM style from BrakesINT - £300 Brake Pads - DS2500 from ESR - £120 Brake Lines - £65 from Hose Solutions Brake Fluid - £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcash5 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 If I could get multiple sets I would. Unfortuately I got them as part of the ESR Clearance Sale. Brembos were off a trashed 53 zed that Andy and I have pretty much Stripped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
