chaps...I only asked if the GTO calipers are a straight swap, they use the same disk so all I would gain is a little extra pad-disk friction, resulting in slightly improved braking with less effort, not a vast improvement over OEM, didn't say it'll stop like veyron. Secondly, for looks. the GTO calipers are obviously larger so would look better behind the bigger wheels i've just fitted IMO.

Cheers  :y

i stand corrected then, only mentioned it as the hyperlink given earlier shows the omega v6 disks being the same as the 04-06 GTO? the photos also seem to back that up? seen as though you have GTO's at home i'm inclined to believe you!

cheers

Ok, not the same disk, my poorly worded sentance, the caliper will float over the standard omega disk with out any problems.
