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.

confused again (because of spacers and rotors etc..)

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.

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.

ok I have a set of correct offset rims (trust me I do ) & the most important pieces the GT-4 brakes: calipers and the standard 315mm* rotors.

However for the rotors to fit you require them to be 297mm or smaller? I dont suppose there are a set of 297mm by 32mm thick rotors? Is it safe to take the 18mm off the standard rotors to get to 297mm rotors?
Other parts required to for these to work: 3mm wheel spacers (1 for each front wheel) the longer stainless steel brakelines and the calipers need to be tap and threaded. The caliper required to some work aswell?
