Re: please clarify svx calipers on a gc8

I believe they should.

GC8 four piston front calipers bolt onto the SVX. SVX calipers should bolt onto the GC8.

Sourcing the correct rotor to use would be the next issue to take on, though.

Edited my original post to read 1992-2000 (instead of 1999-2000). Sorry, ipad typing sucks.

Re: please clarify svx calipers on a gc8

I've bolted STi Brembos into my SVX before. The bolts will fit, but that's the end of the story. STi rotors won't fit an SVX, and vice versa. The caliper mounts farther out on an SVX and necessitates a larger diameter rotor. The SVX also has more rotor offset (the hat section is taller). Also, plan on going up an inch in wheel size from the minimum fitment on his car (ie; if he can get away with a 17", you'll most likely need an 18). Brembos on an SVX don't fit under STi BBS rims, they need 18" wheels.

Re: please clarify svx calipers on a gc8

No, sorry. I know that we have more built in because my Rota Grids clear the Brembos, while the STi guys need a 5mm spacer with those rims. The difference is in the 5-10mm neighborhood.
