I'm going to be changing my pads again, this time I'll probably go for either EBC Yellow Stuff or Blue Stuff NDX pads, since I was encountering lots of brake fade with the Red Stuff pads. I'm also changing my brake fluid. I'm weighing between staying with DOT 4, upgrading to DOT 5.1, or using racing brake fluid like Motul RBF 660, which is very $$$ but will survive boiling much better than the current DOT 4. In many occasions of spirited driving in the backroads, my fun was cut short due to brake fade AND boiling brake fluid.

My car has the Brembo brakes, and something I can't seem to find is the brake hardware kit for the rear. I've located the brake hardware for the front caliper. Rockauto sells this one https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=1736&jsn=271, which should be suitable. Has anyone had any luck locating the brake hardware for the rear Brembo calipers?

 

SNG has it as special order but damn that price is crazy stupid

Yes, that price is absurd for what's a $10 part.


However, I noticed the Brembo part number on the box in SNGs store. I'll see if that gives me any results.

 

if i remember right get the rear hardware for a tesla model s. ton of other cars use the same rear pads

 

Thanks!! I confirmed that the 2021 Tesla Model S uses the same calipers for the rear. So does the 2006 Volvo V70. I was able to buy the hardware kit for $7.79 + shipping from Rockauto.

 

Tesla Model S uses the same pads as the XK Brembo calipers?

 

It uses the same REAR calipers and pads. Yes.

 

Cool.
