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.

^ that, and also the possibility that with 7th gen calipers, new (thick) brake pads and the thicker 6th gen rotors, the extra 3mm rotor thickness might be too much...
anyway, i just checked the ST and GT brakes... they have the same caliper mounting bolt distances, same steering knuckles and same hubs.. i don't see why it wouldn't work on a GT. we just need to get this confirmed now.. any takers? -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I'll put them on and test them out if somebody wants to give me the calipers
