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.

Rusty,
not Big enough wheels but the correct offset, with my wheel design now I have a 27 off set ( 42 - 15 mm spacer ) this will vary depending on the spoke design on your wheel, but yes, as long as your wheels can clear the calipers without spacers, all you'll need is the 3 mm spacer for the rotors.

It is my understanding that if you have a SS III with superstrut suspension, all you need is to swapp the front knuckles to make the brake set-uip a copmplete bolt on. the knuckles are slightly different to accomodate for the different brake set-ups. so swap them and you will be golden.

The thing that is puzzling me is that ST202 SS-II and SS-III have Identical brakes, One being MacPherson and the other being Superstrut, They both need the 2pot stopping power because they both have 3S-GE engines.

So I don't see how ST202 superstrut should make GT4 brake fitment any easier than any SS-I, SS-II, USDM GT or UK GT being they all share the same macpherson suspension, or do they?

The only advantage I can see with the SS-III is that they have identical OEM alloy wheels to the GT4 therefore the correct clearance is already there
