MA70 vs GZ20 Brake Calipers
|
Tue, 16 August 2005 05:15
|
 |
I was told today that the brake pads for an MA70 and GZ20 in the front are identical, does this mean that when you perform the 300mm upgrade you are only really upgrading the rotors and you dont need to change the calipers?
the reason I am asking is I have a set of rotors without calipers sitting at home, is it worth getting them machined up and fitting them in the hope of having some sort of upgrade? as larger rotor surface area means better heat dispersion 
Cheers
Matt

even better!
can someone with one of those EPC Part Number things please tell me if the brake calipers off an MA70/JZA70 have the same part number as the GZ20 calipers
and if the brake pads are the same (this is just to establish whether the person who told me is talking shit or not)

You'll probably find even if the caliper is the same, the position of the caliper wont be right.

nath could you care to elaborate on that one dude?
im not quite following you...
you do know the MA70 brake conversion is a bolt on conversion...i.e. hubs dont need to be changed etc

NOTE: Although I could be wrong and the actual brackets on the strut are where the difference is, by all means, prove me wrong

You do need to swap the calipers when swapping over to the bigger ma70 rotors.

I know that Rear's are identical, not sure about fronts.
I stole my mates MA rears and put them on my GZ. Straight fit.
Having both cars sitting in the yard is useful.
Pads are identicle, same as MX73 Cressida.

Cailpers are the same. Brake pads are the same. The difference is is the brackets that the calipers slide on. Obvously the bigger rotors have bigger brackets to clear them.
