#29681, "Brake upgrade question."


          

Um I am relatively new to this board and I was wondering about something that others might be able to help me out with. Ok I have been looking around and plan of delving into the GSX front brake conversion, but after that come my question. I have also read about the disc to drum conversion on the rear, and I was wondering if I could buy a new stock front caliper and use that along with the old stock rotors for the rear. I know this sounds plausible to me but is there any special problems that I will run into and other than what is on the writeup will I need. Thanks I appreciate all the help I can get.

completely different rotors.

Not only are the rears smaller and not vented, but they also hold the e-brakes like a drum set up, inside the rotor "hats".

Actually, most '95's came with vented rear rotors. Both of mine have them. Just to clarify.

'95 GSX - New motor/turbo going in...
'95 TSi AWD - For sale...buy me!
'03.5 MazdaSpeed Protege - Stock daily driver
'97 CBR 600 - Purple is a real man's color

Does this also apply to the caliper assembly? I am upgrading my front brakes to the GSX Brakes and would like to use the calipers from the front to replace the rear drums. Is this possible?
