My 202 doesnt have superstrut hense the discs dont fit with the calipers as the lugs on the hub are not spaced outwards enough casueing the disc not to fit through the caliper. So I was thinking about a powerslot big brake kit to go on my st202 Any ideas? |

However, I don't know of anyone who has done this yet. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Why not just get a GT-FOUR? 315mm rotors all round with 4 pots up front and twin pots at the rear. No braking issues with those

the calipers from the st205 could work but you have to make a bracket to relocate the caliper to accept the 315mm disk. you could also have the disk cut down to fit, but i would not recommend doing that as it makes the rotors weaker and prone to cracking.

Real quick yes or no question, will a 7th gen BBK fit a 6gc GT? Most of the stuff on the thread is on ST's.
