Brakes

[Denver GSX]

Is it possible to use the Baer brake kit for the 1g on a 2g? I tried searching but couldn't find an exact or clear answer. I only ask because I have the chance to get a set for cheap. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The swap should go without a problem. You can swap to 2g AWD calipers and rotors, only needing new brake lines or adapters as one threads right in and the other uses a banjo bolt. As long as you have the brake line you need they should bold right up. If you have the Baer big rotors ( I think they make up to 14inch) make sure they clear your wheels. Also the big rotors weigh more than stock and you will definitely feel it in the steering response. I drove a car with the older 14 inch rotors once and it stopped incredible, but didn't turn as well at speed. This car did not have the newer aluminium rotor hats which are supposed to be lighter so if that's what your looking at, I can't tell you for sure.
