24352, Question about GSX brakes
Posted by nightwolf2369, Jun-12-04 11:07 AM
if i was to be the gsx calipers and rotors kit, what would be the smallest size wheel i could use. i want to use my 14s for the track, but i know those won't work. could i use the stock 16s?

i believe that 17's are the smallest you can use.

I believe it is aftermarket 16"s (not OEM 5 star ones) and all 17"+'s

Really? I thought I've seen stock 16s with the gsx conversion.

Ask and you shall receive. Here is a post from the gsx sticky from wichedesi:

I'm right!!!<<< I love how that sounds.          


Ok, well I just wasted the night in the garage swapping brakes around to see what fits. Figured I'd post it and make it useful info for somebody. I wish I could think of a better way to organize this, but I just inhaled a lot of asbestos or something

GSX (2-piston) caliper + GSX Bracket + GSX pads + stock rotor
= Doesn't work, gsx pads hang about 1/4 inch off the end of the rotor.
= Does fit inside stock 16" 5star wheels

GSX caliper + GSX bracket + GSX rotor + GSX pads
= Works perfectly in stock 16"s
= Must bend back or replace dust shield (you have to unbolt the hub from the axle to remove it)

GSX caliper + GSX bracket + AEM GSX big brake kit & big rotor
= Needs 2mm ground off the gsx bracket and the 2gnt hub
= Needs dust shield severly bent back or removed
= Needs at least 17" wheels, of correct offset.

The stock 16's will work. I have my stock ones on up front right now because I had a flat tire on my 17's.

Eclipse GSX's and Talon TSi-AWD's have 16" wheels.
