not sure. but im 5 lug with GSX rotors and swapping to dual piston fronts from a 3kgt. you need special lines.Quote:

thats why i have GSX slotted/drilled rotors https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gifQuote:

so did they fit behind yoru stock 14's? or did you have to run other wheels?
I am running 17" rims and they fit. I never tried them with the stockers but if someone in the area wants to try them on my ride lmk.
I plan to do this soon... VERY soon.. (after all my problems are fixed)
I have 2 sets of the Diamante calipers, I really want to do this. I doubt the stock 15" wheels will clear, but Im positive 16" wheels will as thats what came on the majority of 1g/2g GSXs.
Now to find some nice 16" wheels for cheap and some good tires!
They will clear 16", I know that for a fact. Once DSM tuners comes up I'll post the link for dual piston upgrade.Quote:

wow I have been workin on a vr4 3kgt and I am swaping the motor on it to a jdm one and the guy acts like he will not pay so maybe I will get those calipers and get the stoppin....
I wonder if the 15" Lancer OZ wheels would clear. Id like to get a 16" set of Rota Torques for dailey use and some 15" Lancer OZ wheels for AutoX.Quote:

as all of you know, i have an 8g v6 which has the dual piston calipers. similar setup to the 2g gsx. same rotor size even. but yea, 15's will clear but you have to make sure u don't knick the caliper paint when u put the wheels on. with that said, i should repaint my calipers lol
3000gt vr4 ones wont work but but 3000gt sl ones will.Quote:
