Try emailing phattalon@yahoo.com, or send a private message to rpm97talon here on the board. His name is Mike Jury, he's all performance, and has done the full GSX brake upgrade. he'll be able to tell you everything you need to know.

The GSX brake caliper upgrade is only for the front. The GSX came equipped with a dual piston caliper compared with our singl piston design. If you want a simple bolt-on affair, you need to get 2G GSX calipers. When you get 95-99 front dual piston calieprs, you need the calipers, brackets (important as you need them to bolt them up), shimming hardware, and pads. IF you get a 1G or 3000GT calipers, you will need to get custom brake lines.

Good luck,
Karl
