Easy Brake Upgrade ?

I saw somewhere in the forums said the GPX is using the same brake as the current Magna, is it true?
I did check on the DBA website, yes... they do using the same brake disc, anyone know is the caliper the same as well and straight foward to fix into FTO, since I'm driving GR and would like to upgrade my brake, it will be nice and easy if they fit.

Hmmmm if you going to get the magna rotor from DBA, mind as well just get the GPX rotor from them. Rotor might fit but i don't know if the calipers are the same for GR & GPX, if its different then you have to change the caliper as well.

Do keep in mind, by changing rotor won't do much different for braking power, you get a much better result by changing the brake pads itself.

As the bigger roter in GPX than GR, so if I don't change the clipers, the roter won't fit !

The rotor will fit, but if the GR caliper is smaller then theres no point changing the rotor, as your "pot/spot" won't be able to utilize the bigger surface.

Hey folks,

Just did a brake upgrade on my GR.

Went and bought some nice vented rotors (GPX) from the UK (Camskill)
and all you gotta do is pull your GR calipers off & put the GPX
calipers on... They bolt straight onto the same hubs. Stops on a dime
I tells ya!
