7th gen brake system !, pics are up ! Options

[Culpable04]

I ordered a pair of 7th gen front calipers and today finally took the time to test fit one of them, the brake line is exactly the same, the brake bolts into the same exact location, but the bolts on the GTS are longer so we have to use the bolts from the ST, obviously we need the rotors and pads from the 7th gen ( just in case someone dare to ask ) .

I know that there have been a lot of discussions about this, and they all said that they fit but no one tried it, so just in case someone else is wondering if they fit, YES they do,

I'll take pictures when I get everything ( rotors, brake lines, pads ) to show the fitment.

I ordered EBC slotted rotors, green stuff brake pads, SS brake lines and motul brake fluid. looking at one or two week to install everything.


if you want any specific pictures, let me know so I'll take them during installation.

now I have installed EBC front rotors, TRD front brake pads, SS brake lines ( only front ones ).


now the brake pedal has a spongy feel all the way down, it does not grab like it should, the front left and rear right tires stop more than the other two. the system has been drain at least 5 times, and no progress, and we bypass little metal valve after the brake master cylinder to see if it'd make any difference, it didn't.

the only thing I have left to try is to find out if the master cylinder from a 7th gen GTS is bigger than ours thus pushing more fluid to the calipers. The ones on our cars is 15/16 so the next size is 1"

any ideas of what should I try here guys ?

the brake pedal does not feel like it grabs much all the way to the floor
