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 hubs are the same for both the ST and GT models - no brackets needed to installed the GT calipers / rotors. I did the swap and I really didn't notice a difference. The rotors are slightly larger / thicker, so they may stay cooler in an auto-x senario.
The GT rotors are actually cheaper then the ST's for some reason, and I had a set of GT calipers lying around - so it was a no-brainer. If I had to pay for a set of calipers, I wouldn't have bothered. The ST to GT rear brake conversion made difference and is definately worth it. The 205 GT4 front brake conversion made a HUGE difference! This post has been edited by scothaniel: Aug 23, 2006 - 3:59 PM -------------------- Scott
