Default Baer Brakes

If you already have the 14" rotor upgrade can you buy the 4 piston or 6 piston calipers by themselves or do they only come as a set .

Yeah thats actually very bad, you want to stay away from dish soap because it cuts away all the wax on the vehicle which means your car has ZERO paint protecant on it. They make specially formulated car washing soaps that do not strip off the wax. I would reccomend washing your car with a good soap, claying it, rewashing it and then wax and polish. Not to be a d!ck I just like to make sure people can keep their cars looking great as well.

I honestly don't know the answer but you have 14" rotors with stock calipers currently?

thats just what those special soaps for car manufactures want you think, when in reality dish soap is the ultimate car washing tool! (when i was young my parents used to have me wash their cars with dish soap.. i just go to regular car washes to do it now)

A guy on another site said the Brembo GT500 calipers would work but I would need a 3mm spacer . Anyone else ?
