FTO and Eclipse

gr_fto_reborn · Post by **gr_fto_reborn** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 3:36 am

I am trying to find out as many options as i can for big break conversions on the FTO. I noticed on one webite that the were selling a set of brakes as FTO/Eclpise brakes. are the calipers on the eclipse the same as the FTO? If so would Eclipse brake upgrades fit the FTO? I wasnt sure if you guys had a lot of eclips' in AUS. Just a thought as the kits would be far cheaper to get from the states would it be a viable option?

Very few Eclipse parts fit the FTO - plus the exchange rate is utter rubbish right now.

What sort of size upgrade are you thinking? There's a relatively cheap Wilwood 286mm upgrade you can do utilising EVO rotors, or go upto the big 330mm UAS kit.

I think GTO's can fit also ... Provided you have enough dish in the rim to clear it ... I have seen them put them on a 95 GSR .... So should fit the FTO ...

Wilwoods are a great brand. Wouldn't buy them from the UK thou, you can source everything you need for the kit locally.
