im going to get the ReSpeed brake kit and want to go with FD barkes up front and FC rear has anyone done this?
i know the FD calipers fit but do i need to change the master cylinder to cope with it?

thanks

you can if u want to. when i did mine i just left my master the same and i dont see any change in pedal feel or lock up. just some info the -se rear caliper is the same size as fc's rear.

just a quick question tho, does the fd caliper w/ abs matter?

 

Actually, the TII and FD use the same pads front and rear, and the 4-lug FC uses the same pads front and rear as the SE. They're not all the same, with different caliper offsets I think, but there's a lot of commonality there.

 

i have a pair of good FD calipers already, so will the T11 rears be the same as my rear rotors and calipers already on my GSL-SE?

as crit just stated, same pads, different caliper offset.

thanks for the good info

 

Abs pulses the brake fluid, abs doesn't change the caliper.... so any caliper can be used with abs.

 

so the FD calipers should be fine, does anyone know if my SS lines with still fit them?

thanks

Depends on the lines.

FB brake lines seal with a crush washer under the hex.
FC brake lines seal with a inverted flair end.

Look at the end of the lines. If you see a champher leading into the middle hole then they are setup to seal against a inverted flair. If so, make sure the threaded potion is 3/4" long or so. If they are to short they will not seal before the hex bottoms out.
