Hi guys

Certainly. You need the calipers, rotors and brake lines.

Buy new from Z1 or find somebody's take offs.

Thanks ChrisSlicks

Forgot to mention that you may also need to trim the stock dust shield since the sport rotors are larger in diameter.

Same caliper brackets? Obviously you need sport pads as well.

Base caliper bracket gets removed, the sport caliper bolts directly to the spindle. Yep, pads would be good
