using fc brakes on the sa/fb requires fabrication to make it work. It is not a bolt on affair. Also, you will no longer be able to use your stock wheels as they will not allow enough clearance for the calipers.

We all dream, and people have adapted the brakes to work, but not without blood, sweat, and money...

do the 4 bolt FC brakes use teh same rotors as teh 5 bolts FCs?

edit: ok that sounds stupid because the bolt pattern is obviously different, but other than that... *could* you use teh 4 piston calipers on a 4 bolt car?
