I wanted to upgrade the front brakes of my ST to that off a GT. I got the calipers already but before i got the rotors i wanted to know if that would be all i needed, or if i would need to get the GT bracket as well. I Just wanted to make sure before i bought a set of slotted rotors. Thanks ahead of time for any help.

The piston and pad are cover roughly the same amount of area between the ST and GT. I'd say it's mostly a cosmetic modification. You'll probably get better braking performance from properly inflated tires...

You'll probably get better braking performance from properly inflated tires... so the gt guys should install the ST brake system to get the same braking power and weight reduction. I think your trying to say is.. this modification is not worth the time or the money, but if you have time and money... GO CRAzY! |
