    S caliper upgrade

    I found a pair of S calipers that I want to install on my T. Aside from the 3.5 inch struts what else do I need for this conversion? Thanks in advance.

    Vented rotors
    S pads
    Good brake fluid
    I don't remember about the flex hoses.

    If you don't have the banjo fittings on the S calipers, then you will need special hard lines, too. Be sure the calipers are in good shape, before you invest. Many of them need stainless pistons, at least.

    I like the new skull and cross bones. Are these a direct bolt on for Shorty or any other SWB?
