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)


I got my pads/rotors/calipers off of a diamante, and also went from my 14" steelies/hubcaps to the Diamante's 15" 5 stars. I believe this brake setup is the same, so it should fit in 15" wheels also. That is how the Diamante came from the factory so I'm sure it's safe. I always see people saying, "You must have 16" wheels"...It may be different for someone else, but it worked with my 15's. Also...This assembly JUST barely clears the brake dust shield. I had to take a large screwdriver on the passenger side and push it back a pinch. The drivers side was fine. Otherwise, all you have to deal with is getting the SS lines....which I need to do. I rigged up the Diamante lines on my eclipse for now
...Here's what the wheels look like for those who may be wondering. I haven't taken pics of them on my car yet.
