I read on here somewhere that someone had upgraded there stock brakes to the speed 6 brakes, my question is what all do i need, other than the caliper and rotor. Will i need the bolts and brake hoses from the speed or will the stock bolts and hoses work. Also what about the dust shield, should i just leave them off or should i get the shields for the speed?
I can get the front rotors and calipers with bracket, just not sure about the rest, any imput would be helpfull.[/size]

IIRC all of the stock parts will work. Up front you will need to bend (slightly) the brake line to make room for the larger caliper/rotor. In the rear the dust shield has to be removed to fit the rear caliper. The master cylinder is the same so all is good. Cheers!

You need:

1. Speed6 calipers
2. Speed6 caliper brackets
3. Speed6 rotors
4. Speed6 brake pads
5. Speed6 soft lines/SS brake lines for the speed6


The hard lines between the 6 and the speed6 "should" be the same because my Stoptech BBK has the exact same part number for the regular 6 and the speed. Thus, the SS brake lines that come with it will fit both cars...meaning that the hard lines should be identical.
