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.

sorry for taking long,

if you are trying to do this conversion using ST205 rotors, you'll have to follow the previously made post, as I didn't use ST205 disc there are small diferences on the installation.

the rotors can be anywhere from 297 mm to 300 mm

I previously said 297 wouldn't work, but later we realize that I was using a 5th gen knuckle for test fitments and is slight diferent than a 6th gen knuckle,.

297 mm will put you right at the end of the pads, pad and rotor will meet perfectly at the end, so if you want a little extra disc go with 300 mm.

you won't need the small spacer for the disc, using ST205 disc, but I don't remember all the details so look for the post and follow it, maybe pm lubu for questions.

if you go with the Cadillac Catera disc, trhen I'll be here to guide you throught it.
