This is all you need to do this conversion. Calipers, caliper brackets, GSX Brake pads, GSX brake rotors, and shims. The brake lines should work if you use the GSX calipers (banjo fitting). However, if you use the base 3000GT brakes, you may have to obtain the screw-in fitting brake lines.First remove the wheel and the rotor as well as the caliper. The only thing holding the caliper on are two 17 mm bolts to the side of the hub. The rotor should come right off, but it most likely will not. In this case, you have a couple of choices. You can try the bolt threading method to thread/push the rotor off .With everything off, you merely have to place the GSX rotor on the hub, and bolt up the caliper bracket and caliper up to the mounting holes (both 17mm). Next, screw in the banjo fitting and bolt into the caliper with a 14mm. You can go ahead and place the pads and shims into place now. After that, go ahead and bleed the brakes, and put the wheel back on. Repeat for the other side and you're done!You'll probably be in a big hurry to test out your big new brakes, but go easy on them for a bit and let the pads seat themselves. You'll already be able to aesthetically enjoy all the space that's now filled up behind the front rims. The dual piston calipers looks quite good and is much larger over the single piston calipers that came stock with our 2GNT's. I am quite pleased with the results and can already discern a big improvement in the braking . think about investing in a new spare since your stock one won't be able to fit over this setup. Additionally, if you have 14's forget about using those, but 16" rims will fit just fine.
