I know of a few people who were wondering about this swap,has anyone attempted it?Without getting to far into it,it looks like a fairly easy change.Fairly easy for a profrssional shop to do.I think you can keep everything but the caliper and pads. Yes,no,maybe.

You just need the E0 caliper, caliper bracket, and brake pads. UBRF.org , Western New York's Premiere Automotive Forum. Yeah, I got some bolt-ons.

If your going to do anything go Willwood or Baer, don't bother with E0's. All are pretty easy to install! -Andy Andy Watson '99 Silver SVT #2397\| DOB 07/29/99 Graci!
