OK, when i first bought my tibby, i wasn't to impressed with the stock brakes. SO i started looking into what upgrades were available. I had settled on doing the XG350 front calipers with 07/08 SE cross drilled factory rotors, but really wanted something alittle bigger as far as rotor size went, as i plan on getting 18" wheels and want to fill out the wheels.
So i started to do some research, and found out that the Gen Coupe brembo front rotors are 13.4 diameter, are the same thickness as the XG350 rotors so the XG350 calipers will fit over the rotors. The Gen Coupe rotors have the same hub bore diameter as our cars, and of course the same lug pattern, but the rotor height is 3/8 of an inch taller, which isn't a big deal.
Now the XG350 calipers will have to have an adapter bracket to go between the caliper bracket and the knuckle, this is something that's been done before and isn't to hard to make and is a reliable setup when quality hardware is used.
My purpose of this thread is to see if others would be interested in a set of brackets to do this swap to there tibby as well? Stop-Tech drilled rotors can be had for 90 bucks each from tire rack, and i have seen remaned XG350 calipers with mounting brackets for 90 each on ebay and then your pads and stainless lines of choice. As you can see this can be a really nice and effective BBK for not alot of money. I dont know what the brackets will cost, but im guessing around the 100-125 range, of course the more people that want a set the better price we can get.
Post up your thoughts, opnions, and weather or not you would want to get in on this.
