front brake upgrade for GQ, any options other than petrol GQ

Post by muskie »

looking to upgrade front brakes are there any other options other than petrol GQ front brakes?? i have a set of rebuilt calipers and new discs from an early GU but they will only fit behind 16'' rims and i have 15'' rims on the truck. cant find any larger GQ petrol brakes anywhere.

what is the difference with petrol GQ brakes? i've used nissan diffs under my cruiser and currently trying to get my head around how i'm going to pass the near immposible cert brake test. Looking at bigger brakes but want to squeeze them in 15inch rims.
