Big Brake Upgrade

Today I spent a couple of hours fitting the two corners with the SM Discs for QPV and Brembo callipers from a 2010 GTS 4.7 onto a 2004 4.2.

currently running a set of 19inch wheels and surprisingly there is enough clearance for the 6 pot Brembo and 360mm discs.

I haven’t yet to fitthe rears but will post some photos when I get around to fitting them. (New handbrake cable etc... )

If your doing this conversion make sure you source the callipers with the brackets, bolts, and brake hose bolt as the 4.2 version is shorter than the 4.7.

If your doing this conversion make sure you source the callipers with the brackets, bolts, and brake hose bolt as the 4.2 version is shorter than the 4.7.

Nope nope nope ................ hold me back guys, I promised myself quietly i would be keeping this one completely stock , now im sorely tempted :garmi:

GTS / QP only at the moment Loz, but we have a GS hub and wheel bearing at the manufacturers awaiting a demand ;)
