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.

they 'are' an upgrade for GTs (assuming they fit the same was as on an ST), but not the same kinda difference you would get from an actual bbk. i'm sure the 7th GT-S brake assembly is bigger than the 6th gen GT disc brake assembly.
once i find someone local parting out a 7th gen GT-S, i will try this myself!
