ESi -vs- GSX brakes

I'm looking since I'm going to get rims, coilovers, and my calipers powdercoated, I'm wondering what's the main difference between the regular esi, rs, gs brakes compared to a GSX? Is it just a 2-piston? Swapping should be no problem right? Just need the mounts and thats all? Any ideas or opinions on this?

David you are in luck, I am doing this swap next week and I'm already workin on a write up for it. GSX just have 2 piston calipers and 10.8inch rotors. So you will need calipers, brackets, shims, pads, and rotors. And some calipers have screw in fitting instead of banjo fittings and im workin on fixin that right now.

Ah, well since I just bought rotors last year, I won't be doing that anytime soon then. Hate spending money twice, especially on something not that important... like brakes ;)

haha not important. Well my brakes needed to be replaced anyways so why not do it.

i think somoene needs to find a way to get 13" rotors and mybe 4-piston calipers on a DSM for CHEAP... :2cents:

You can, the stealth/3000gt TT come with 4 piston calipers and around 13" rotors, you just have to make an adapter to fit the brakes to the mounting points on your car. They aren't the same.

WHAT!!!! are you serious!?!?! i've had a pretty good idea for a while... ive been thinking... EVO... Brembo... Ebay...$500... thats the easy part... next problem is mounting... w/o metal fab tools...

I have seen evo brakes on an eclipse. I know the calipers brackets were a little to big. But they changed that piece that goes between the control arms where the brakes mount to and used one off a galant maybe and the calipers bolted right up.

See I just don't have time for this stuff anymore. lol. Plug and play is the way to go. Would be cool to see though.

Ok, I looked up a few things for you guys. Here are the evo brakes on a 2g.

Someone needs to find a realistic reason to have such huge brakes first...

2g AWD brakes stop like hell anyway, I love them on mine :).
