Definitely not a direct bolt on

even a audm dc5 cannot have the brembos directly bolted on .. go figure..

and there are much more cost effective upgrades and brake packages

The DC5's mounts are a little different so mods would be needed.

New kits and average prices here:
Baer = $1400USD for a 4 way direct bolt on kit. No mods.
Wilwood = $1600 for a 4 way direct bolt on kit. No mods.
Brembo = $2500USD for a 4 way direct bolt on kit, some mods may be needed.

I have the Baer kit and love it. Easiest set up I have ever used. Took like 1.5 hours to install all 4.

The wildwood kits are a pretty serious upgrade for the DC2's.

Any of those are. Baer has more stages and options for each kit and in my opinion is the better deal. I have used Wilwood for some domestics and they are great too. The Brembo kits aren't any better, you are just paying for a name.

you can actually run some 16's and even some 15's, with JDM brembo's, apparently the rota subzero's in 16x7 +40 will fit on a JDM DC5R, and Team Dynamics make a 15" rim that will fit too.

16" CE28N or 16" TE37 can fit JDM brembo too.

Baer setups will fit and most Wilwoods.
