Thanks to the guys at SPD Metalworks we received a rear brake bracket identical to the one that 2011 Formula Drift champion Dai Yoshihara is running on his Discount Tire S13. Here is the installation 101 on how to get these brakes with some super tight clearances.
Disconnect the brake line from the caliper. Make sure to have a mason jar around to catch the draining fluid. Now remove the brake flex line from the hard line. Remove the two bolts holding the caliper bracket on, now you can remove the whole caliper assembly. Don’t forget to remove the disc rotor and NOT use it as a Frisbee on one of your buddies. Install your brackets for the caliper. If you have to remove the hub to install your bracket be sure to buy longer bolts for the hub.
Place the new rotor on. Now get those calipers mounted. Make sure your bolts do not touch the rotor. As you can see ours is very close!
Connect the Wilwood brake lines to the calipers. As you can see we are going with a two-caliper setup. Connect your brake caliper line to the cars hard line. On a later installment we will go over running the hydraulic e-brake and line. You can spin the bracket to get them to fit with some adjustment if needed. Here is what it looks like once our calipers have gone on the bracket.
