I'm doing about the exact same. Enforcer off a 14 glide with brembos. I am contemplating the master cylinder too. Did you keep yours or change it also?
I put ht lids with 6x9 kicker. PA amp, Kenwood head unit, hertz 6.5 in the front. I'll be buttoning up this afternoon.
I kept my stock master cylinder. It works fine. I have read some guys swap them out with the newer ones. So far so good with my old one. All I have left to do is install a load equalizer so all my LED work correctly. I think I'll get the custom dynamics one. anyone have a better cheaper option?
I will confirm adding rear speakers does make a difference. Upgrading the front does also. I'm pushing 6.5 hertz in the front and kicker 6x9 in the rear powered by PA RZ2000 amp and kenwood head unit. World of difference in sound volume and sound clarity. Although I did lose majority of fm reception. I normally use bluetooth, usb anyway.
Also the brembo front calipers works a lot better on my 07 compared to the older set up. The 19 wheel isn't a hard swap with a little know how.

I am thinking about going to the Brembo's also. How did you assure that the DOT 5 was completely out of your system, to then switch to the DOT 4?
Also, I bought the "Badlands" plug and play "run, stop, turn module". It has a built in load equalizer, and literally took me 10 minutes to plug it in. It's just a jumper that installs in line with the harness and rear signal plug. Works great. It was like $100 on Ebay.
My 07 was already dot 4. I don't see any reason you can't flush the calipers and stay with dot 5, or get a dot 4 master cylinder and just flush the lines. I have an 08 up master cylinder if you want to go that route. $50 Shipped. It was a new take off.
You just can't mix dot 5 with anything else. It's full synthetic and the others are semi-synthetic.
Hey Siv24,
You do know the rotor for 08 and up with brembos is larger than the 07 and below. So I think you would need rotors and calipers at the least to make the swap. I am assuming since they didn't change the wheel size till later that the bolt pattern for the rotor is the same.
