Well, i was looking for an option for my car brakes... cuz they are $hity.....

And i did found one option, what is still better then stock brakes. It seems what ST165 has the same size brake disks, but it has dual brake pistons, witch would give us better and smother braking with them. So i bought a pair of used brake assemblys from ST165 and did a little test this weeken, and YES, they DO DIRECT BOLT ON. Nothing needs to be changed.

Here are few pics for ya:

And the post comes back to life!

So from what I understand, the ST185 Dual Piston calipers are better than the 165 Dual pistons. Has anyone been able to find brake pads for these yet? And Coomer, I don't know if this was before or after your post about the ST185s giving you problems. How did that end up? You got the brakes on? And let me know if you found the brake pads.

EDIT: How do you detach the brake line from the Caliper without breaking it? When I painted my calipers and the ones on my brother's tC, it seemed like it was hrard to get off. How would you take it off?
