Hey guys, I'm debating on the GSX brake swap or the powerslot brake upgrade. The GSX swap may be a little cheaper, but they are hard to find in my neck of the woods. I searched for it but only came up with just the rotors and not the kit with caliper relocation brackets. The powerslot rotor is about 1.75 inches larger than the stock rotor but the real question is, is the crappy single piston stock caliper going to do what i want it to with the larger rotor? Thanks

IIRC you don't need relocation brackets for the GSX calipers. When I did the swap, I believe the new caliper bolted right up to the existing mount, it just extends further out to accomodate the larger rotor. I have a 95 GS FWIW. The best of both worlds would be to buy the GSX calipers like STT said, and buy the Powerslot Plus kit that comes with larger rotors and relocation brackets. That is the setup that I have and it's butter. Wish I had done it all at once instead of the GSX swap in '05 and the powerslots in '08!

That sounds even better. I found some gsx calipers on ebay, maybe i'll buy them tomorrow since those are the only ones that i found. A couple others were on there but they aren't dual piston like the gsx should be. Only a hundred bucks for them plus shipping. Not bad since they are new. I'm more of a new person anyway, don't really like buying used. Thanks for the advice. I think that'll be the route i'm going to take.
