ebpda9 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 i was wondering if anyone did this already, or what the part numbers would be. i am just fed up not being able to find any 2.5i better pads and rotors. I know i will need calipers, rotors and pads, but my main concern right now is the parking brake. i just want to know if the e-brake will work with what i have now, or i will need to change that alsp.

BrownBoy Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've been waiting on someone to sell some parts cheap so i could do this also. It'd be awesome to have some definitive information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Opie has done this (I think he even has a walk-through on his site), pm him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yes, I've done this on my wife's 2.5i. The parking brake is the same so nothing needs to be changed there. I swapped the rear rotors, calipers and pads from my '05 GT right over to the wife's 2.5i (did the fronts too). It's a nice setup on the 2.5i.

ebpda9 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 thanks a lot. I managed to find a set of calipers in junk yard in Indiana. The sales person told me they are off a gt. we'll see when they come in if they are gt or xt brakes. i hope i just saved myself about $500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
