Don't have the answer you are looking for, but you could see if the disk is the same diameter for both types. Also, since you are adding more pistons, I would imagine that the master cylinder is bigger for the Brembos. A call to the parts dept to check the part numbers for both will answer that. Everything else being equal, you will still need to get the caliper bracket as well, which attaches to the spindle.

For the money, you would do better getting an aftermarket performance brake kit with cross drilled rotors. That would even be a step up from the Brembos.

They will not bolt up. There is a different offset, I beleive the auto's axles stick out a little farther.

Discussed many times, not possible, well it is, but you'd have to swap out quite a bit, it is no cheap mod, you're better off buying the Brembo BBK for 3K
