Again, lol I have all of these but just been running a stock caliper with 12 rotors

F-body bracket works with C5/C6 calipers

Thanks for clearing up the confusion

So I think I'll order those bolts and sleeves

Props again for the part numbers. I been putting this off as I didn't want drill and tap anything.

Edit

Part numbers for the bolts to use with the sleeves ?

Drill and tap is better and very inexpensive.

Anyone have a part number or size bolt if I get them from a hardware store?

come on dude lol it was right there in the link.


4 12mm fbody caliper bracket bolts (12x1.75x40mm)

Sorry man. I currently been I-phoning for the last month or so, and had 8 windows open all for the bolt website. (been too busy with my house remodeling to get on my pc)I didn't want to order 8 bolts just 4. I rarely beg for help, so props to you for doing the leg work for the info!

not a problem, anything for a fellow regal owner.

just bustin your nuts a bit anyways.

do i absolutely have to get SS break lines to do this upgrade or can i just use the stock lines?

pretty sure you can use the stock line, they may have to be f body lines.

the ss line makes the pedal firmer i guess, no rubber to swell.

stock lines are too short. need to get longer fronts.

Stock works. They're short, so you just bend the holding tab a bit. You need the right Banjo bolts, too.

x2

Just be careful and dont let them hang

banjo bolt?? where do this go is this what hold the end of the brake line to the caliper?

the banjo bolt is the bolt that holds the line to the caliper, you need the F body caliper banjo bolt.

ok thats what i thought i just wasnt 100% sure, does SS lines relly firm up your peddle or is it just a gimmick

What if the calipers from the fbody have the brake lines attached already? I can use those bolts to attach my lines right?
