you will use the same mounting bolts

you can also use the stock lines but you will need shorter banjo bolts

Just did the upgrade

i see, you dont happen to have the banjo bolt specs though do you ?

Im looking for the size x thread for example m16x1.25. I would like to pick it up from autozone first before doing the job because it would suck ALOT if i had everything off and i cant get the shorter banjo bolt.

Such banjo bolts are available from local auto store for 2-3 bucks each. There are titanium ones cost 8-10 bucks each from performance tuning store.

I used cheap ones. The ap caliper used them.

I upgrade to Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake lines and did not need to buy banjo bolts.

Perfect, thats exactly what i was looking for.

I would upgrade to ss lines but i dont see them being necessary. I just picked up a 2005 mini cooper s that i intend on turning into an autox monster, im just doing this because i already had all the parts heh.
