15" conversions

I was told that I can do a 15" conversion by just changing to v6 calipers and rotors. I'm skeptical about this. Any help is appreciated.

IF the V6 calipers work you would still need a LCA that will fit a 15"

Those calipers still need a lot of grinding to fit a 15" wheel. Also, you'll need control arms to clear whatever wheel you choose, stock control arms need modification with grinding and recommended fabrication so you're not completely compromising their structural integrity. You'll also need the V6 backing plates and brake lines. The kits usually involve adjustable toe rods and trailing arms too. My tuner did the V6 brakes but like I said, he had to grind the crap out of them to make it all work

besides the Brakes, you need Lower Control Arms, Trailing Arms & Toe Rods
