The whole assembly transfers....if you have 7th gen rotors, you have to have 7th gen calipers. If you have OEM size slotted brembo rotors, you have to have 7th gen calipers.

Yeah, a real brake system is pricey. Performance Friction is working on new monobloc calipers and an entirely new braking system for the world challenge BMWs. Its going to be somewhere in the neighb...

The 6th gen GT and ST calipers are not the same, but they have the same mountings....i.e. the spindles are the same. The rotors are larger on the GT, but not a lot. Pads will not interchange.
As far...

Haha, you gotta do the disk conversion in the back!!!. To be honest the Brembos are big time overkill for anything but a dedicated track car (unless you just want the look). I'm just going with the ...

No no no....sorry....I wasn't totally clear. The front calipers will bolt right up. The rears I wasn't able to check because the one they had was a GT (drum brakes). I don't think they're the same....

Its probably one of two things or a combination.... The swaybar bushings are urethane and squeak really really bad if not lubricated really well. If you didn't do it when you installed them, then yo...

Yeah, I would think that it should work. But I dunno if I'd run it with the underdrive pulley....that would likely slow things down too much. The underdrive pulley is cheaper BTW and will do about t...

Well...I had more injuries than that, but that was the mostly noteable. I think its more to dull the pain of losing a vehicle

The car is definitely still tweaked some. Just because it is 'within spec' on the fram jig doesn't mean its truly straight. I don't know enough about the GT4 suspension to be able to tell you how it...

There are underdrive pulleys (just the crank pulley). Its an 18% underdrive and supposedly makes 8hp. I don't think it makes this much power. I would say that realistically it makes 2-4hp. They ca...
