OK so i have to ask before i go out and start ripping in to the work. I just did the rear brakes on my car i put 97 gt rear disk on my 94 st. I have a complete downer car and was going to change out the front brakes to. I know that i seen a thread about the front brakes being bigger on the gt then the st. So my question is that true and do i have to change spindle and all or can i just use the caliper and bracket with the gt rotors?

from what i have heard. you only need to change bracket and rotor. Im guessing you have to change it to the gt caliper. not sure if the gt caliper and st caliper are the same. Also if you can change the proportional valve from the gt into the st. it regulates brake fluid so its puts about 70% to front brakes and 30% . Its not a must that you do it, but it could decrease the chance of your brakes from locking up. not that much of a difference between gt and st proportional valve. gt slightly better by 15%.

ill give you an exact word for word from my chilton book.
Proportional Valve: used to reduce the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes becuase of weight transwer during high speed stops. this helps keep the rear brakes from locking up by improving front to rear brake balance. it is located in the center of firewall under the heater hoses. it does not show any pictures at all or diagrams. you'll have to ask somebody else that knows more about the brake system.... -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

pvalve is nice but not necessary, your brakes will work fine w/out the GT one
