03 to 00 OBW Caliper Interchangability?


Recommended Posts

I have a 03 OBW and an 00 OBW. The brakes in the 03 are so much better! I've read the 00 still used the old body style size calipers (read: undersized). Anyway, does someone know off hand if the 03 brake calipers will fit on my 00?

 

If so would it be beneficial to just change the calipers or grab an 03 master cyl and booster too?

What are you wanting to swap? Everything, or just calipers?

 

How are the 03's brakes better? Does it stop shorter, or does it just feel better.

 

Once you get into the "feel" portion of braking, you get into the non-calculatable part that can be different for different people. Things like brake fluid, brake pads, vacuum assist, tires, etc can affect how the brakes feel.

 

So what I would suggest you do, make a list of what's different between your 00 & 03. Try to remove some of those things from the list....but do this after you've answered the question, what's better about the 03.
