Question about OEM Brembos

[tcm glx]

I know most folks here have an SQ, but for the 2.0T guys I have a question. I have a 2013 which already comes with the Brembo calipers, but mine has the 320MM rotors. My understanding is th 3.0T comes with the 345mm rotors. What's required to trade up?

[agautohaus]

just some brackets and the rotors. not sure if anyone makes the brackets though bc brembo usually bolts straight to the hub.

I thought the brembos went straight to the upright. So is there a different upright for a 2.0 vs 3.0?

Anyone?

I think you need the brake carrier for the 3.0T brembo(345mm) My buddy did this on his 2.0t too. Maybe shoot him a PM just to make sure what else you need to this swap.

For pre-facelift you can update carriers to run bigger brakes but remember pre-FL are all non-brembo calipers.
For post-facelift you will need the 345mm brembo calipers, sorry.
Brembo is a one piece design caliper that bolts directly to the upright so no OEM bracket is available.
Unless there is a aftermarket bracket but I highly doubt it.

That's what I thought. I didn't know the 320mm Brembos and 345 mm Brembos were different. Thanks!
