Angle grinder or dremel


and finally you need just a bit of common sense


now lets get started


To Start I'm assuming you already know how to remove your front calipers and rotors, if you don't then this conversion might be a bit too difficult for you. For those still with me lets continue


So after you have removed your stock calipers and rotors you should be looking at this minus the bracket I have in the picture

(picture 1)


now bolt on the bracket like pictured


I recommend you test fit the calipers without the rotors 1st so you can be sure you don't have any clearance issues, and so you can trim the shield so follow these step but leave the rotor off for the 1st side you do, then the other side will be easier


picture two


you can see how I trimmed the dust shield I actually had the 13" cobra brakes on before these so mine was already trimmed back enough


picture three


in the kit from LovinBoost you will find four thin spacers.


picture four


these go on the outside (the side facing you) of the caliper


picture five


slip two of the longer bolts through the caliper mounting ears and slip on the spacers like pictured and bolt the caliper onto the bracket


picture six


make sure this is how yours looks no bolts should be touching the rotors and the spacer should be between the caliper and bracket.


picture seven and eight


now you can test fit your wheels, I am running Gramlight 57c's these calipers do stick out past the hub a lot so you will need some wheels with decent clearance for this setup, you can see even with these wheels i only have a couple of millimeters of clearance left


once the wheel is mounted make sure it spins freely if so your good to go


the stock DSM brake lines do fit, but if you haven't upgraded to SS braided already now would be a good time also if you stick with the banjo style line you can actually use the banjo bolt from an Evo 8 or 9 rear caliper otherwise you can order the correct lines from RTM


also I recommend speed bleeders which make bleeding the brakes a 1 man job. so bleed the calipers till you have firm pedal pressure.



once the wheel is mounted make sure it spins freely if so your good to go
