NNBS Brake Upgrade

[dcwhybrew]

Those of you who have done the 07+ NNBS brake upgrade, did you change the brake booster (from same MY) too? Or did you just change the discs, pads and calipers only? I'm having mine done week after next. Thanks.

Literally just finished this... r1 Concepts rotors and posi quiet pads.

Nice! Did you change the booster too?

I have a NNBS but the same applies to your NBS, good pads and rotors will help a lot; but if your looking to do the full NNBS upgrade there's ton of threads on here about it.

Thank you, but I have read those posts and they do not discuss swaping the nbs brake booster with the nnbs brake booster...which is why I posted my question.

You can do just the calipers, pads, and rotors or you can swap the booster as well. I wouldn't unless its to swap to hydra-boost from vacuum booster. If you already have hydra-boost, don't bother. The hydra-boost helps with a linear pedal feel and reduced pedal effort, but not stopping distance. Don't bother with a swap to a newer vacuum booster.

Perfect...that's what I needed to know. Thanks. Having this done next week. Just realized that my spare wheel is 16" vs the 17" wheels that are on all four corners. Guess I'm buying a matching wheel and tire. I'm glad I learned that instead of at an in opportune time...LOL

Don't you have to have a larger wheel to run the NNBS brakes? You will also have to change the caliper brackets. I have all the stuff setting in my garage, just haven't had a chance to do the swap.

From what I've read you have to at least have a 17" wheel or larger. And, yes you have to get the caliper brackets as well

As soon as it cools down I will be doing this with the R-1 concepts rotors and I'm also doing the hydro-boost!


Has anybody done both is there anything I need to know or watch for in advance?
