Brake upgrade
Got my car going into the shop soon and I know a few people who have swapped their GRs to GPX brakes. Question is I have ABS (GX model), can the brake calipers/rotors & cylinders be straight swapped out from a non ABS model to a car with ABS?

Re: Brake upgrade
GPX also came out with abs as well so you should be fine.
Just get an abs break kit off the GPX from a scrap yard or Dstocks may even have some.
But also as above if you have the $$$$ go with the hsv kit.

Shipping to NZ would rape me though.
Found out through a local mitsi part dealer that the rotors and calipers are the same but the brake cylinder maybe different.
