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 Thumbs Up!

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