Does anyone have any experiences with switching to brembo take offs? Either from gt500s or other new ones I guess.

What would all would you need? Prices? Any info? Trying to get informed. Thanks

 

Take the old, put the new in. Probably recommended to bleed your system as well.

Simple tools, not much science. I see Brembos on ebay with discs and lines between $700-$1000.

 

That's also what I've seen. It's a much much cheaper alternative to an actual big brake kit, but I didn't know if it was a good route to take

 

Worked for me. Got them from a member here. He took them off his GT500 after a few hundred miles. I got front and back calipers, rotors, and pads. I already had Goodridge brake lines and everything just bolted right up.

I highly recommend it if you know they are like new. Also very, very easy to do! I think my wife could do it if I stood there and told her the steps.

 

And buy wheels to clear them.

 

That's also a point to consider. Well thanks fellas. Is it not necessary to bleed the lines then Gary?

 

It is absolutely necessary.

I went ahead and changed the fluid in the system while I was in there. Bought a pressurized brake bleeder that attached to the master cylinder at the cap. But I've used it on a few of my vehicles so that worked out for me.

 

You'll have zero brakes if you do not bleed the fronts.

 

Gotcha. I had a feeling that might be a dumb question. Just trying to learn all I can

 

I am running a set of take-offs as well and got lucky with the price as I only paid $520 shipped from a guy on TS who had his GT500 upgraded to a SS. Another easy way to complete the bleeding process is using speed bleeders as they made the process very simple.
