I want to get this done here within the next few months, so I'm starting to look around an so far the results are good...

I have found brand new 2004 sonata rotors for $52.99, and I have found the 2003 Tiburon GT brake calipers (remanufactured) for $53.99 both on autozone's website..

For just a hair over $200, it seems like a good deal to me!

You could always get the xg350 calipers too

I thought about that but the tib calipers will be plenty for driving to the supermarket and back =)

There is actually quite a few "factory" big brake options for these cars, and they respond well to them all. Get stainless lines while you're at it. Much better pedal feel.

This is crazy... amazon has the front rotors + pads for $106 + Free shipping... lol

[MrElantra104]

That's pretty cheap for the rotors

 

[2LiterRiceEater]

That is really good

From what I have seen, the 2003 OEM Tiburon GT v6 calipers *(full assembly including the bracket) will be a direct bolt-on.

Once you have those items + the new pads, you can go to the DIY forum and read the steps to get them installed.

The final fitment will require the trimming of the upper section of the dust-shield which takes about 30 seconds if you are slow.

EDIT: I compared the part #'s for the tiburon brake pads vs the sonata pads and they are the same part #.
So it is very likely possible that the sonata calipers are also

 

[MrElantra104]

Is there a difference between i4 calipers & v6 calipers on the Tiburon & I'll soon be on this once I get stuff done on my xd

 

[FordFasteRR]

Yes, the i4 tib has the same calipers as the elantra... only the GT model has the matching calipers for the 280mm rotors from the sonata (11 inches).

Nice to know I always thought they had the same calipers since its the same model

If you replace the rotors, calipers and pads, do you have to drain the brake fluid?

 

[MrElantra104]

Yes i think so if your gonna be replacing the calipers since you'll be removing the brake hose its gonna be leaking the fluid

 

[2LiterRiceEater]

Yeah you'll lose fluid and therefore need to bleed the system.

This is what mine look like, I want to convert my drums to disk. But I also want to do a bigger brake kit on the rear, I know it's more involved compared to the front BBK but could the XG350, Tib, or Sonata rear brakes fit on an XD?

 

[Elantra2005]

Looks great . Nice attention to details .

 

[mkjh]

Wow that looks awesome. Great job.

Thanks dudes! Originally i was going to paint the Hyundai logo but a high quality vinyl worked, i tested it by putting a plastic band-aid on the caliper and it melted after a run through the hills.. Haha
