Direct fit. Should take less than an hour taking your time. Unbolt a couple bolts. Swap. Bleed. Done.

Hi Mike,

With the bigger rotor, wouldn't I need bigger backing plates?

Also, would it be better to buy the loaded calipers instead of semi-loaded? Semi-loaded are Cardone brand and Loaded are Centric brand. Any difference or opinions on each brand?

Hi,

You dont need the bigger rock shields. You can use tin snips to take a tiny bit off yours to fit the caliper.

Up to you on the calipers. The loaded ones are more expensive and come with pads that are a bit unknown. You could get the semi loaded ones and then get a great set of stoptech pads. Either way.

You might check in to wrapping them with ikon (3M)

A member did this in blue and it looks pretty cool. Reflective wrap glows
