Ok, guys since there is no way for me to find a junky 6g GT in my area. I found a 4th gen GT-S. Im gonna use the throttle for my 4age swap and the thing is. The car also has its 4 calipers. Now the thing is will these things fit on my 6th gen car?
It would be great if someone can help me out. Otherwise I might just go out there and grab the calipers and see if they fit or not confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif

ST's and GT's, GTS are 5 lug as well as Alltrac.

Swap the whole rear hub assemble and poof rear disc brakes, have fun with the E-brake cable.

I am unsure about the front entirely, at the shop they told me to get front alltrac pads, calipers, and rotors and they should fit so waiting on some funds then ill keep the mass's informed.

If it cheap enough just snag as much as you can, I personaly just bought a wrecked 5th gen GTS for 300$

So you are saying that the 4th Gen's rear calipers will fit on a 6th gen? It is also a 5 lug type car.

Oh.. The 4th gen. GT-S throttle cable is long enough and fits perfectly to the strange and weird orrentation of the 4age throttle. Strange, its very strange that everything bolted right up.

I am not say'n calipers, I am say'n swapping the whole rear suspension assemble, lower control arm, upper, hub, and strut(if you want older) and completly swaping onto your car. I am under taking this hopefully this weekend or next when ever my GTS parts car gets here. planning on writing a complete how to and also addressing the E-brake cable as well.

I am completly unsure about GTS or Alltrac size's but I head someone mention that 5th gen alltrac are bigger then 4th gen.

I would reccomend this to all looking for better braking power yet stay'n cheap is takin off your front Rotor, Caliper, takin them to a parts store and exchaning them as your core for 5th gen Alltrac or GTS front setup, it will cost about 100$-200$ + core but well worth, just make sure to order your caliper bracket from a different store or they might catch on.
