[QUOTE="AmericanRicer87, post: 16741428, member: 39122"] Well I thought I would share my experience with doing this brake upgrade. It was as easy as previously stated in earlier posts. I chose to use the offset bushings from S&S Engineering, found them on Facebook, sent them a message, they responded very quickly and had a set out to me with in a week. I purchased the calipers new on Amazon, as well as Stoptech stainless lines. I chose to use Powerstop Z26 pads and the rotors were nothing special, just a set of eBay slotted and drilled black painted rotors. I had a set of billet specialties street lites on the car originally, they didn't come close to clearing the ATS brakes. I chose to go with a set of Weld Ventura 5's 18x8 in the front with a 5.625 offset and they clear by .045" which is plenty. (research I found .020 is minimal recommended) After a short 20 mile drive on the new set up, I can definitely tell a difference. The stock brakes just struggled to slow the car down from higher speeds. These Brembos have no issues at all. There is ever so slightly more pedal travel as well, but not enough that I felt like I was going to run out of stroke. (maybe 1/4" to 3/8") It also doesn't feel like the fronts are doing all of the work, the car still feels like its braking pretty evenly. In saying this I do plan on upgrading the rear brakes in the near future. For sub 600 bucks this is one of the better upgrades I have done to the car. Shout out to everyone for doing the research and making this upgrade as easy as it was. [/QUOTE]
