Break Discs

Postby DirtyLopez » Thu Feb 08, 2007 1:47 pm

Hi, one general question...
Do I have to change calipers if I change standard break discs (GR) to bigger (GPX). And Do they fit to GR?

Not 100% sure but I think you'd probably have to upgrade your calipers alright... I put GPX calipers, disks and pads on my front wheels.

I'm not sure what benefit you'd get from only replacing the discs & not the calipers/pads, probably none, and almost certainly no noticable difference I'd imagine. :?

In brief, yes and yes.

aahaaaa... :) so... let`s buy new breaks for "Misia"
