Hi all. I have recently checked out front brakes on my mate's newly bought GT4 and really liked what i've seen - bigger disks and much bigger calipers - tempting smile.gif !

Has anyone ever tried fitting st205's front brakes to a st202 with a superstrut??

Just want to know if that is possible...

Thanks a lot!

Its will be a straight swap without any problems. check Maikl profile - he fitted GT4 brakes on his SSIII.

SSIII and GT4 (basicly all ST202 with superstrut) share the same structure of the front suspension components, and they can be interchargible between ST202 and ST205 without any problems. Exept springs are different on ST205 (they are stiffer, and have a little bit different spring ration)

So another question, are SS-II, SS-III and Euro-spec GT brake system the same? smile.gif I mean discs, calipers and so on.

Thanks man! Was almost sure it is the scenario but needed another opinion wink.gif

I'll ask Maikl if he is happy with his conversion.

So the Lower Ladder Frame (Cusco, etc.) should also fit, correct?

Thanks again!
