Can't be done very easily. GT's use Macpherson suspension. GT-fours use Super Strut. In order to get the rotors and calipers on you'd need the entire suspension setup from a GT-four.

Not completly true, if you fabricate a spacer and mounting bracket, you can mount them on the GT/ST suspensions.
JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

Wouldn't you have to grind down the rotors too? I think its worth it, but not worth it at the same time. It isn't really cost efficeint.

Right. but how much time and money would it take to get it done?

You're better off purchasing a BBK

Not much actually, if u know what ur doing. You dont need a mounting bracket..u'll need it if you dont wanna trim down the size of the rotors...the rears are bolt-on btw.

Machine down the discs to 300mm
Longer wheel studs
spacers behind the disc to bring to center with the caps
spacers on the wheel depending on offsets
shave the bottom ball joint..
Longer brake hoses.

and ur done biggrin.gif
