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.

Kwanza posted the specs of the disc, they are about the same size, the only way this would be an upgrade from GT is if the caliper and pads are bigger, probably GTs can just swap the caliper instead of having to get new disc like us ST drivers

well, if they do in fact need 16's to clear the caliper on this car (i know you do for 7th gens, but maybe our's is mounted slightly closer or something, I dunno) then it would be bigger then stock 6th gen GTs which can use 15" rims.

if somebody had the measurements on the diameter of the caliper piston on 7th gen and 6th gen GT brakes, that would tell you right away if it would be an improvement.
