So whats the difference between the GT and ST front brakes?
I see the hub and knuckle are the same, but the caliper and rotors are not. Slight size increase for the GT?

Bought 2 motors from Jarco (jarcoinc.com) and the motors have been top notch.
CJ motorsports used to have some major 5S/3S swaps - located near Chicago.
