20092, GSX (2-piston) caliper + GS Bracket + GS pads + GS rotor ? Posted by hifi_esi, Sep-21-03 06:53 PM
I know that GSX (2-piston) caliper + GSX Bracket + GSX pads + stock rotor don't work because of the GSX pads sticking out too much or something like that. I was whondering if using the GS pads, GS bracket and stock size rotors could work ? I have 4 brand new drilled rotors (GS size), if I can upgrade a bit more I whould like 4 piston caliper .
Is it possible?

Short answer is: NO
The GS pads wont fit in the GSX calipers. The GS Brackets won't fit the GSX calipers. The GS rotors won't fit the GSX calipers.
At the top of this thread is a sticky called... GSX upgrade sticky idea.
Reading it would do you good.

mm well if you really wanna use the GSX calipers you just wasted your money on the front set of new rotors! you need the DPC pads and larger rotors, no way around it. A guy like about 3 weeks ago asked the same question and really you should send back ur rotors for the front and get AWD rotors. If you decide against the DPC and stick with stock calipers to use with your rotors hit me up i might be interested. Im personally holding out getting new rotors until i know i can get DPC.

what's the point? Your not going to be upgrading anything if you keep it like the way you said you wanted it. Yes you can use the 2gnt rotor I've seen it done but that means less braking area means less braking power. Just get everything you need, if you find the stuff at a boneyard shouldn't cost you much.

yea leaving the rotors stock defeats the purpose. you've got more pad and bigger calipers but not more rotor to grab. if it's a money thing i guess you could do it in steps and get the calipers/brackets first but keep in mind you MUST change pads when you get the GSX rotors. the old pads will be jacked from being only partially on the rotor.
