I jus found a dude in my state selling GST brake calipers and i have been looking at the bigger brake conversion for a while. Anyway, i am getting them for $40, but are off a GST....TIA

not to sure on this

just ask him if theyre single or dual piston

no, GSTs have the same stock front brakes that we do, your wasting your money. You need to get either 2G GSX calipers or you can also use the calipers off of all the NT 3000GTs and Dodge stealths.

ditto. just wanted to give ya a second confirmation. i've got GSX calipers. GST/GS/RS are all the same. tiny single piston crap calipers. GSX dual pistons are nice. you'll need new rotor too though. or actually idk if anyone got GSX calipers to work w/ GST/GS/RS rotors... GSX rotors are bigger so if you keep your stock rotors the pads won't have more rotor to grab so it won't make that big a difference.

damn....oh well....i could jus buy them to paint them and sell my ones i have now. I have to head out that way anyway to sell my sideskirts

i have heard a few guys using our rotors until they were able to upgrade to the gsx 14" rotors. One of the guys are the meet last night still had them on i do believe. He had really positive feedback on the dual piston.If i can find some soon i will buy them also. So from what i have heard it is ok to use your rotors for a limited time until you are able to upgrade. It's just they were made for a 14" rotor not our lil 12"

and you will need to replace your pads when you DO swap them. b/c the GST/GS/RS rotors are slightly too small for GSX calipers the pad will not be completely on the rotor. thus only the part of the pad touching the rotor will wear. when you put on those bigger GSX rotors the part of the pad that was touching before as well as the part that was not will now be in contact with the rotor. that prolly wouldn't be good. it'd be like uneven an stuff.

ya i forgot about that when i posted it all. Very important point! but DO try to get the rotors too for the sake of doing things right.
