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 |

[QUOTE]
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 [/quote] 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...  [/QUOTE] i said exactly that just wat you call a backing plate i call a dust cover and you don't have to have a dust cover either as in "whole assembly" i was refering to wat i stated "caliper, mounting bracket, pads, rotor" those are the necessities of changing st-gt so i DO know what i'm talking about stfu This post has been edited by playr158: May 22, 2005 - 12:18 AM |

You really have ZERO clue what you're talking about. You can't even differentiate what a dust cover and backing plate is. First you say the backing plate is part of the e-brake, then you say the fronts don't have them, now you're saying you refer to them as dust covers AFTER I tell you they have nothing to do with the e-brake system? That's all a backing plate does... is to cover the rotor. Woopie... Don't try to sound like a smart ass calling things all sorts of crazy names. As for "whole assembly"... whole assembly is the spindle/knuckle, hub, calipers, rotors, basically everything minus the suspension arms and strut. AGAIN, more proof you just don't know jack sh!t. You continually speak out of turn and pass off completely WRONG information. You are the one who really needs to just Shut the f*ck up. QUOTE(Ve1Ls1dEvolutioN) as far my situation i have no other choice but to upgrade my front ST to GT disc...i bought cross drilled and slotted rotors about 2 years ago and just gettin' a chance to put them now...not knowing i have to change the whole backplate,spindle,hub,calipers and everything... You don't need to change any of that for the fronts... you only need calipers. For the rears, you'll need the entire assembly. QUOTE backing plates on the front from a GT and an ST have two different part numbers...therefore 2 different size...backing plate for an ST is a little smaller than the GT...when i tried inserting just the rotors it would not spin and clear the backing plate Like I said, they're more or less dust covers. You can remove them completely (fronts only), or just bend them back to clear the rotor. No big deal. They're usually removed when big brake kits and such are installed. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
