Default Front Brake GSR Converstion on a DelSol S

What parts do I need for a front brake swap on a delsol s. I m about to purchase front brake assembly including rotor,caliper and upper a arm for about $150. Is that a good deal. Parts have a estimate of 85,000 miles on it. Probably check out the parts tomorrow. Is there anything I should look for, condition wise? And what are the parts I need for the brake swap? Any help would be appreciated.

nope , he has those tiny 9.3 discs vs the gs-r 10.3 and larger calipers

and yes 150 is a good price but you need the teg spindles as well

I have some more questions about brake swap and suspension. I would have to add the front lower control arm from a GSR in order to use the GSR swaybar right? And about the rear, I was also planning on using the GSR rear disk brake aswell. What parts would I need for the rear. I need the GSR rear control arm right? Can I use a integre type R rear control arm with the GSR brake assembly? All the help would be appreciated.

you don't have to use the rear lower control arm to do the disc swap. If you use the Type R rear lower you will need shocks that are made for the type R since it mounts differently. Email me if you have any questions.
