Anybody have a set nice set for sale?

Dealer wants way to much, i'd like to upgrade from the '04's.

What is required to do this swap?

Your just doing them for looks, right?? When I looked into this before I was told there was no increase in performance just looks and 4X the price.........

04 are 2 piston units while 05-06 are true 4 Piston units. You can get these from several of the vendors on the forum but you MAY NOT get your Core charges back so you might want to ask them what they would charge extra to let you upgrade.

So do the 05-06 calipers bolt on or do you need to swap brackets also?

New Calipers

I do believe that is all. New pads and bleed it.

That's right.

I want them for the looks, to be able to say I have the 4 Pistons, to get the stock one's outta there and fresh everything up in hope's that I don't ever have one seize on me.

And i'm still curious as to weather they grip harder or not, even though people have already done this.

Who sells the 4 Piston's?

 

[Pirana131313]

I have a set of 04s

But I was looking for '05-'06s?

The 04 is a 2 piece sliding unit that has pistons in one side only. The 05 -06 is a one piece fixed unit that has pistons on both sides and does not move because the pistons move instead. They do have more gripping power because there is more surface area on the top of the piston for the fluid to apply force to the pads.

And yes they are a bolt on.

Perfect explanation

Awesome :tee: Exactly what I was thinking, more surface area.
