Sumpin is not adding up here. I don't remember any early 08's not having Brembos.

Me either. Just looking at that brake line it reminds me of an 07 or below and if that's the case, different axles etc but should still fit.

OP, those calipers are not going to work with those rotors. The 08+ rotors are larger then those with those older brakes.
So, get some take off brembo calipers and you'll be set. Stock master cylinder should work but you'll have to try it for yourself.

Most definitely not Brembos. Brembo on the left in pic. This is definitely what your problem is. No amount of spacing will correct this so don't try shaving the caliper to make it bolt up.

Be sure to come back and post pics after your done. This has certainly been a first for me pertaining to the caliper. Very odd.

I think you can make yours work but I'm not 100% certain.

So you changed the bearings to 1" ID...were they same width (21mm) as your 2007 originals or did you find some thinner 1"ID x 15mm ?

The top screw on my caliper doesn't line up. I looked into shaving 1/8th inch off the rotor and can't do that.
You're talking about taking 1/8" off the Diameter of the rotor...yes?


As mentioned...you need Brembos

It does seem odd, but you need the Brembos and you can use the stock line although it may need reamed. Does your title say 2008 ? Just a few more, do you have the 6 gallon tank, tbw and the front head mount ?
