i'd PM speedtoe and see if he ever solved this riddle

It's not much of a riddle... all that needs to fit is the caliper. The rotor, I'm positive will work. So long as the caliper bolts up, it's pretty much a done deal. I'm about 90% sure the 7th gens share the same knuckle pattern as the 6th gens.

Super Struts are different and might not work the same...

Oh sorry didnt make that very clear

I have a ST202 3sGE GT and bought a set of ST205 4 pot calipers and discs. My 202 doesnt have superstrut hense the discs dont fit with the calipers as the lugs on the hub are not spaced outwards enough casueing the disc not to fit through the caliper.

So I was thinking about a powerslot big brake kit to go on my st202

Any ideas?

If you have a macphearson strut ST202... then it should be the same as the USDM ones... and it should work.

Read the first few posts of this thread. Spedtoe covers the answer to your question. However, I don't know of anyone who has done this yet.

Why not just get a GT-FOUR? 315mm rotors all round with 4 pots up front and twin pots at the rear. No braking issues with those >wink.gif>

Because the Superstrut system does not bolt up to the ST204 and AT200's.

the calipers from the st205 could work but you have to make a bracket to relocate the caliper to accept the 315mm disk. you could also have the disk cut down to fit, but i would not recommend doing that as it makes the rotors weaker and prone to cracking.

Because they are not available in the U.S....I assumed you knew that.

Real quick yes or no question, will a 7th gen BBK fit a 6gc GT? Most of the stuff on the thread is on ST's.

Nobody has done it yet. If the kit will fit a ST, it will fit a GT.

so frustrating...i hope this happens soon, if i decided to not get the 3rd gen clip, i will get the 7th gen BBK and put it up for show...if it don't work or if it does, we will all know...im getting impatient over this...imma try to find out by going to the dealer and presenting them this dilemma!
