Default Re: Swap Grocery List - X3 Accent with 2.0L Beta engine

Rudy, how about mentioning some info about the front brake swap that I believe you and at least one other Beta-swapper did?
I think you need the front rotors, calipers, hub/bearing assemblies and hub-to-strut knuckles from a 96-2001 Tiburon or Elantra in order to upgrade your x3 Accent's brakes to the larger ones that came from the same car as the new motor.
As a note, if you wish to do this, you also need AT LEAST 14" wheels, as the RD Tibby/ 96-01 Elantra brakes won't fit behind the x3's base 13" wheels.
As well, getting the brake hardware from a 2000-01 model will also allow you to eliminate the bane of all x3 tuners, the dreaded captive rotors!
Rudy or a moderator: please add to or edit this as needed.
