Have to be calipers from turbo GTO.

And you will need to manufacte mounting brackets for the calipers

Assuming you're transplating from one FTO to another I can't see how you would need extra kit.

That's a skill that could come in handy!

I dont think that pictures are up -anywhere- as the brackets would probably be the part that yields the biggest profit from the kit that RB sells.
