#18556, "Does this brake setup work?"


          

Hey I have a few questions about this brake setup. I have a gst. But I am getting the 4 GSX 2 piston calipers. Then I am going to buy a brake kit for the GSX from race concepts, so the calipers will fit with the rotors and pads. Does this all work right? And since I have a gst, but am getting the gsx calipers, and rotors, do I get the brake lines for a gsx, or gst? Thanks guys

That all sounds right. You said you are getting 4 calipers? The rears are all the same. There is no difference between a GS, GST, and GSX rear caliper, so you probably dont need the rear calipers. As far as what you need to buy, for the new GSX calipers everything has to now be bought for GSX style. GSX pads, rotors, and SS lines should all be for GSX. You will notice the difference right away, they rock.
Oh and I bought 4 speedbleeders too, they make bleeding the brakes soooo much easier and a 1 person job. I would recommend them to anyone.

lines are still the same. i switched to SS when i did the conversion though. i remeber there being some issues with the fittings at the end of the line to the caliper. but i'm almost sure it wasn't with GSX calipers. it was a similar 2 piston caliper off another car but the fitting was different so you needed an adapter. GSX calipers bolt right up though.
