i know the difference with the gsx front brakes are to a gs, but are the rear breaks different from a gs. i have rear calipers on gs-not the drums.

also, are gst front and rear breaks different from a gsx?

GS-T and GS have the same brake setup front and back. All models have the same rear brake setup, except for the RS that has drum brakes instead of disc. Oh, and the 95 GSX had vented rear rotors.

ONly for a VERY BRIEF time in early 95 is this true. Otherwise, ALL GS's, GS-T's, and GSX's have the same solid rear rotors, using the same calipers in the rear.

Originally, I was sent a mismatched set of rear calipers off a GSX, with one being from the early vented GSX's. They are definitely different, but not appreciably so, to warrant wanting the GSX rears. Moreover, it would be VERY hard to find replacement rotors for those when they wear out. So, I merely bought another rear caliper with the later manufacture date.

BTW, I not only have front GSX brakes, I have the rear GSX's too. Just not the early vented variety, of course.
