Front Brake differences?

[JAP63]

Was there ever a difference in the front brake calipers of the upmarket models like the R.S/Monte/Super compared to a normal jap VR4.

Bigger etc..?

my rs just has twinpots

 

[tharaka]

RS/Facelift/Monte/Super all have twin pots with 276mm rotors

Prefacelift had single pots with 256mm rotors

 

[JAP63]

So the twin pots will go on the the 256mm rotors then?

no

No, but yes, they will go on, but the twin piston callipers take a different shape pad and the pad will over hang the edge of the 256 mm disc which is not ideal and I would not recomend doing it.

 

[JAP63]

Well ive got the rotors here,they just need machining.
thats all i would need yeah?
Rotors and calipers,then throw them all on.
Done?

Yep. That's it.

Pads of course, and make sure the calipers have the little clip thingies to hold the pads in.

Ideally you want new brake lines, but the old ones will fit straight on.

Sweet,I heard that GSR Galant rotors and calipers are the same as these bigger ones?
True?

 

[Entaran]

Er no.
