Managed to get my hands on these Brembo four piston calipers that came off a mercedes. I was thinking of going through the trouble of finding someone locally to fab/cnc machine me the adapter brackets, problem is that I dont know of anyone locally and I do not even know on where to start on finding the correct brake lines. Of course I am going to call brembo to get exact sepcs on the calipers, in the mean time I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction of geting proper custom brackets, I can get the correct specs on the measurements once I can get a hold of a camera, so please bare with me. If anyone can share there exotic upgrade I would appreciate that too. Pm me if you know of anyone here in the 626/91745 area

well what are you going to do about the rotors? use the merc ones and redrill them to 5x114.3?

I am more concerned about getting the calipers on there, seeing that I can order the correct rotors based on the fitment.

The reason he's asking about rotors is because the brackets you use will be offset based on what rotor you use. If you mount the caliper first, I guess you could "guess" offset based on coilover and knuckle placement to give you the largest wheel clearance, but I'd look into what the hat offset is on reasonably priced rotors for those calipers and go from there.

Look up a company called Global Auto.. they are based in Japan, so not local, but they have a kit for the Brembo kit from an F50, which is probably about the same size
