You dont need to change the master cylinder unless your going rear disk.. The stock booster can be replaced though.. It dddnt even work well with the stock brakes..

ebay: r1 concepts.

Best Seller on Ebay for '06 so they should be alright...

60 bucks for 2 OE style rotors plus shipping, which is a bitch b/c they are in Cali.

I am also picking up some 73mm mark calipers off ebay for 40 bucks shipped and if needed I found a 93 cobra MC for 50 bucks OBO.
Click to expand...


why are you doing new calipers and MC? can i use my stock calipers and MC and just put the Mark 7 rotors on there?

ill end you buying new oe ones from napa at napas cost...which is like 30 something...then im just gonna buy new rear axles from napa as well..

That is if I can get it for 35 bucks, which I think I will.

i think black would look pretty cool. there'd be too much grey if you went grey, imo. a black tb should set of the black accents in the intake plaque nicely. if you get new valve covers, paint them black too. that'd look good.

the TB and EGR are aluminum right, just hit it with a wire wheel and knock some of that corrosion off
