'08 base with Type S brembos

So can I run the base 08 knuckles with type s calipers?
I read in a black market post that someone with an 07 base use their stock caliper

no you need Type S knuckle to run the brembo caliper. Search the garage, lots of people have done this.

I believe it was in a For Sale thread I believe and I even said that it wasn't possible. Link us to the thread if you don't mind.

do not do it without swapping the knuckles. There are a whole list of things that could be just a hair off and cause rotor/caliper contact or piss poor pad/rotor wear.

Suck it up and admit that if you want the TL-S brembos you gotta pay for it or you outta have bought one in the first place.
