montezumola Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I'm gonna be upgrading the Jspec fronts to UK spec soon ... and I was wondering, is it technically possible to use the old front calipers and replace the backs with them? I mean, the UK spec rears are 2 pot, same as Jpsec fronts, aren't they? Probably impossible, but worth an ask ...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 different type of 2 pot, the UK spec has oposing single pots, the j spec fronts have 2 on one side and a sliding side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezumola Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Not looking promising then? Damn, thought I was onto a great cheapskate idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Theres no reason why you couldn't do this. Just by the time you've got the right size discs on there and some custom caliper hangers, its probably cheaper to buy uk rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I've heard they don't fit. I'll try to find a thread I asked this question on awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Absolutely not, piston sizes are totally wrong, FAR too much rear brake bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
