FC brakes on FB?

I've got a set of FC front brakes (single piston off of a 4 lug car).. They were just rebuilt and have fresh pads.. Will they bolt on/are they an upgrade for my GSL-SE?

This guy is converting to 4 piston brakes, which I don't have handy (well, I do, but they're staying put on my turboII.. )

Anyone else know anything?

Since you got a SE, I think they will. I wondered about this myself. The pads are the same, but you may have to use the driver's side caliper on the passenger side, or swap the mounts, (or use FC mounts?) if that's possible. Let me know how it goes.
Oh, and I doubt it's much of an upgrade since you already got an SE, but it would be for those of us with GSLs who want a cheap lugpattern/brake upgrade in one.
