    Mounting Brackets for The GT to fit 16v coupe calipers.

    i am in contact with an engineering company who will make me the brackets needed to fit 16v coupe calipers to the gt.

    not sure if it will inclue the bolts yet but i can source them from elsewere.

    how many people would be interested?

    wouldnt bother, 16VT brakes aren't much different to GT brakes. go for the 20VT brakes.

    well i got the 16v brakes for nothing so all i would be paying for is the brakets and i would have 16v brakes.. and the discs are bigger than gt ones so they will be better

    16v brakes are a reasonable amount larger than the GT brakes.

    Indeed, the 16v calipers and discs will only just fit behind a mk2 HGT alloy.

    not by a lot from what i've read before.

    how much are the brackets going to cost? from what i've read uprated disks and pads using GT calipers are just as good as the 16VT brakes.

    i personally wouldn't bother, get 20VT calipers instead.

    you can also source calipers from a integrale EVO as they use the same calipers as the coupe 20vt, but the mounting holes for them are different to the coupe's
