is there a difference between GT and ST front spindle and hub?? i'm converting brakes from ST to GT. i bought cross drilled and slotted rotors but they wouldn't fit. i'm guessing i have to replace the backplate. but does anyone think i have to get new spindle and hub too??

thanx
alex

Can you take the rear disc brakes from a GT and put them in an ST?

Yes... you need the spindle/hub/backing plate/ebrake drum (should all be one piece), calipers /w brackets, rotors, ebrake cables, and brake lines. Essentially the entire rear assembly that bolts onto the lower suspension arms and strut. It's a direct swap over to the ST.

yea GT works on the front
just need to replace the whole assembly

and there should only be backing plates on the rear for the e-brake
the front only has, caliper, disk, pads, bracket


The front has backing plates also. Why wouldn't they? Backing plates have nothing to do with the e-brake, they're mostly a dust cover. You also don't need the "whole assembly". You need the calipers with brackets, and rotors. That's it. Yet another example of you not knowing what you're talking about... rolleyes.gif
