not a 100% must, but swaping the brake proportioning vavle, brake booster, and master cylander, should help pedel feel,

at least on my car where i swaped just the brakes, the feel it alot different than my other cars with factory 5 lug big brakes, they still work fine just hte feel is diff,

Dont forget the proper wheels as well. you cant go anywhere whitout them, but also make sure to get new bearings and maybe parts kits.

ohh heres something i noticed, i went from a 5 lug single piston to 5 lug 4 piston, so i used the same hub,

but i noticed, that the bolts that hold the calipers on are different lengths!! if you use the bolts frm the single piston brakes they dont thread in very far if your using them on 4 piston brakes, which could posibly cause them to be alot weaker attached...

so make sure you use the bolts that came from the big brakes!

Shouldn't there be a tutorial/FAQ thread in the archives? I Myself will be undertaking this swap in due time. I dont need to now because my stocker motors doesnt give me enough speed to warrant bigger brakes.
