What do i need to do a complete/working 4 pot caliper conversion???
 

I have the front 4pot calipers right now from a s4 t2...i want to install them in a 91 coupe...what type of rotors do i need for the front to fit the 4 pots???

should i just get a set of 4 brembo rotors???(if so what kind do i need for the front and the back, i have 91 coupe rear calipers and want to install 4 pots in the front)

So beside the rotors, do i need anything like master cylinder or lines or anything???

or is the calpiers and the rotors enough???

thank you

???

You need the TII rotors, Not sure if the 4 pot calipers will fit on an N/A 5 bolt hubs.

Also you will need the right brake lines for those calipers if you don't already have them.

As far as i know the N/A Mastercylinder will work as i used it for a whole summer with no problems at all

If you can manage to shave a few pounds off the car as well as doing this brake upgrade you will really notice a difference in stopping power, specially if you combine that with smaller diameter tires with a wider contact patch ;)

I.E. 205/40/R16 what i'm using. Really makes your passengers put their hands forward :D

No need to change the discs, however the rear ones on the single pistons FC's have a solid rear disc vs the double pistons caliper FC's that have a vented one.

All 5 lugs FC's use the same brake pads........

As mentioned before, you need:

- Front Calipers
- Brake lines
- Hard lines (it goes in between the caliper and the brake lines) <----- you can make your own ;)

hhmmm....what exactly is a hard line???

i dont know about hardlines, but you may need the soft lines that go to the caliper because i know that for SS lines there are two diff kits. And part of those kits replaces a short piece of hardline that goes and attachs at your strut and then has a rubber hose to your caliper. you may just be best off buying some ss lines for 4 piston. cost around $80 or so


anyone know if the other hardlines just mate right up to it?

i juss ordered some 4pot brake lines off www.mazdatrix.com as well as a rebuilt kit...

BTW: how do u pay for the items you ordered ar mazdatrix....gets me all confused.....i picked C.O.D or sumthing since i cant find a place to put in my credit car number.....so does that mean they'll send it to my door and then i pay them after words or sumthing???

thanks

yep, since you picked COD. id call em in the morning and explain and change it before they ship it.
or just leave it COD.

never dealt with m-trix so dont really know.

As I said, a metal brake line that goes in between the brake caliper and teh rubber(or ss) brake lines. All FC 4 port calipers use this "hard line".

As stated before:

You need the:

-4 pot calipers
-Brake lines for the 4 pot calipers (not the singles)
-Hard Lines from a 4 pot caliper engine, or you can make your own

To make things easier:

Page 42 on Adobe or P-40 on the manual itself. Look CAREFULLY at item number 1 on the picure, that is the Hard Line :)

eeehhh...cant see the pic, can u please post a thumbnail here?

if not, can u teach me how to make my own hard line???

is it tha thing that connects the caliper to the brake line in this pic???

does the stock 91 coupes have these hard lines??

That's it!

If the coupe has 4 pot calipers yes, if not then the answer is no.

Can i have instructions on how to make my own Hard Line??

Thanks

Its very easy,

You need:

-The tubes
-End fittings
-Tube bender

Everything else is common sense.
