will gto front discs and caliper fit fto

[sparton]

just wondering if a front brake setup from a gto fit onto my fto .intresting me thinks

[kevinod]

Good thinking. Already done, needs brackets though - on ftooc:

As some of you may know i have developed a big brake upgrade for the FTO using GTO 4 pot calipers and 324mm discs

thats good news when you say bracket you mean the caliper carrier bracket

[gary d]

I'm presuming that this is the part the guy on Ftooc developed, as the calipers and discs are readily available.

Also kevinod can you run 17 and have enough clearance

Price the adaptor bracket first, you may find it's a huge chunk of the price.

So do you not think the gto bracket will fit the fto hub .?

It wont fir the fto FACT.
you need a bracket thats slightly L shaped made to relocate the calapper

brackets would have to be custom made

Cheers for the info mate thanks for locating that for me. Better start saving

[colm_mcm]

have you considered a GPX upgrade, should be plenty stopping power for a GS?

[sparton]

No mate never even thought of it . That a dam good idea and prob cheaper to remember

[colm_mcm]

real simple upgrade. 100 quid should cover it.

I undertook this swap on the GX, well worth doing when you consider the cost benefit.
