My dad has a 94 GT. He is going to get a new car and trade his is soon. My question is, if I want to swithc my front rotors for his, how hard is it. I am thinking that all I would need to swtich is the rotors and calipers, and maybe the backing plate.
Am I correct?? Would I have to bleed the brakes to do this?




Edit: Prolly shoulda put this in the braking section. Sorry

I believe everything is the same on the st and the gt so the calipers should bolt right up. If you are taking the calipers off and switching them then yes are are going to need to bleed them. The rotors should be the same also. Like i said im not sure hopefully someone else will reply also that know if they are the same, but they should be from as far as i know.

Yeah, you have to switch rotors, calipers, and backing plates (or just leave the backing plate off....my suggestion.

Why do you suggest leaving the backing plate off the fron when I switch them?
I've been thinking, why would i have to bleed the front? I don't think the brake line connects to the backing plate, or does it?

You have to switch calipers to switch to the GT brakes. Therefore you have to bleed them. The backing plates just really aren't necessary.
