I've been searching and came across many many posts about the VR4 upgrade for the 1G. Then I cam across the link to a website that sells brackets that "might" fit for a 2G GSX but not a Talon AWD??? Why not? http://www.electronicauto.com/SideNavFrame.aspx?url=/products/2gttbrakeconversion/brackets.htm

Now, I got some used VR4 calipers that's from a 92 and would this bracket really work on a 2G? I don't see any members with a 2G install the vr4 brakes. I know one of the mod actually fabricated his own bracket to fit the calipers without even using spacers on the wheel but i don't have access to machine shops. Therefore, what's the options for me? Buy the brackets and hope it works?

They will fit but your real problem is will the vr4 calipers clear your spokes on your wheels.
Thats your primary concern.

great news that they'll work.. I have an aftermarcket 17x8 rims and if w/ spacers still wouldn't work then i'll go with a 18" rims no problem. The major concern was if the brackets would hit any of the front end like other people stated in other posts.
