So I'm getting to the point in the project where brakes might become a necessity.... problem is, not many people have my exact situation at hand.
I'm running the superstrut suspension in the front.... until further notice. Given that, I have all the subrame stuff from the clip, no problem. Bought front shocks, no problem. Bought ss3 twin piston brakes, no problem. came with pads so I can find a matching pad size, no problem. My question comes into play with respect to the rotor (or brake disc whichever you prefer). Does anybody have any idea what rotor is gonna fit off hand? Anyone have superstrut with ss3 brakes? I can't seem to find much of anything with respect to diameter, offset etc etc. I'm hoping the GT rotors fit, but I'm not sure if the offset is right. If not, maybe mr2 turbo rotors? 185 rotors? I could always mix and match, but I'm hoping for some experience and answers if they exist. Thanks in advance to an experienced community...... whom I do no expect to have an answer for me LOL -------------------- ![]() |

Twin piston SS-III brakes sold (no brake pads with this set, Swap caliper brackt to GT one and use GT brake pads with no issues .. I bolted on to my car see pic) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() so im having issues. you see that forgmann confirmed that if you use Mcpherson brake caliper bracket with SS-III brake calipers they will work. you can also see the difference between Mcpherson pads and Superstrut pads. so my question is will a simple SS-III brake caliper bracket and pistons fix this issue?? it doesnt seem like it, while though the SS-III pad seems to be flatter on the bottom why is there all that space on the rotor that doesn't contact Mcpherson pads?? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And now we know rotor size is the same. top is superstrut and bottom is McPherson ![]()
