ST205 Brake upgrade completed !, ST205 brakes on AT200 / ST204 Options

[Culpable04]

Details will follow later, hopeful;ly later today. I still need to work some more on the car but not the brakes, I have an issue with my driver side control arm that needs to be fixed, but brake-wise I'm done.




quick teaser

15 mm spacers was needed to clear MY wheels
calipers HAVE to be grind off and spacer was used to push the rotor OUT 3 mm in order to clear ball joint.
Rotor is based on a Cadillac Catera 2001
and I used Stanless steel brake lines and were just perfect, not too long and not short at all


I'll go over the whole thing later.


BTW, I did install the rotors backwards I was tired and overlooked that, but I'll fix that sometime during the week.

the caliper needs to sit on the back of the knuckle

you will need to grind of the caliper 3 mm, to make the center line be a litte bit away from the bvall joint,

if you decide to go with Cadillac Catera disk, you'll need to use a 3 mm spacers on te hub to push the disk out and be in line wiht the center line of the calipers, basically that's it

you'll need brake pads spacers, I used the old pads with all the brakes component sanded off. the brake pad spacer needs to be 2 mm thick and goes on eahc side, this is because the cadillac disk is 28 mm thick, and the ST205's are 32 mm thick.

after that you'll need to see if you need wheel spacers to fit your wheels.

when bolting the calipers to the knuckle ( see my previous post for instructuion on thread tapping the knuckle ) use loc-tite to make sure the bolts don't coem lose, for some reason mines were coming lose after a few 10's miles of driving, I bought soem thread lock ( loc tite ) and problem is gone.


let me know if you need more details.

I've been really busy, and don't know when I'll get around to do a proper how to. for this. but there are a few ways of doing it, and there are a few options when comes to rotors, it's all a matter of choosing what will best suit your needs / pockets / and set-up
