G70 Brembos

[Deviate]

So Ive been highly considering doing the brake upgrade to the Brembos, since the 2.slows did not come with them.

With that said, will the G70 Brembos fit?
Or should i just stick to the Stinger sets?

I can’t see how they’d be different, other than making sure the fronts match your drivetrain (ie if you have AWD, the donor g70 should be AWD too.) Other than the driveshaft difference they should be the same. These two cars share many components.

Kind of my train of thought on it too.
I just dont want to get "stuck" with a set of calipers for some dumb reason. Then i gotta try and sell them.

The fronts do not have to match the drivetrain.

The Brembo brakes are the same for the RWD and AWD

So im good if i go with the g70 Brembos?

They even share the same part numbers.

Thanks for that! Much appreciated

Might want to make sure your brake lines are compatible before pulling the trigger.

There's a good chance they are but during the swap is a bad time to find out they're not.

When you get them on you can accessorise...

Have you decided to do BOTH the front and rears? I picked up a really nice set of front Brembo calipers (EBay) before I ever bought my car a couple weeks ago, I was surprised how good the brakes were already on the 2022 2.5T. I had read the earlier 2.0T brakes weren’t great, but at some point they did replace them with larger rotors and I assume calipers. I have been hesitant about picking the rears, as I’m not sure they’re positively needed. I’m thinking of getting SS brake lines and the EBC floating rotors- the Brembo calipers and EBC floating rotors are both are so damn sexy!

Not sure yet. If i recall correctly you had asked about the Brembos fitting wth the stock 18's. Obviously you got it done, nice! Yea the 2.slows could be better. For daily they are fine, for when i decide to go beat on my ride at times id like some more grab though.
I may just do the fronts and upgrade the rear pads and rotors. All depends on cash flow at this point.
The G70 2.0 comes with silver not red so thats why i was leaning towards them. Something different, and i dont have to paint them then. If i end up with red, ill be painting them. But not silver either at that point.

And no @AusStinger i wont be getting them hydro dipped
