front GSL-SE calipers same as late GSL/GS?

Anyone know if the front calipers on the GSL-SE are the same as the ones on the GSL or GS? I sure hope so, because I have lots of spare calipers of those sitting around, and none of the GSL-SE.

alo?

My guess is no, but what's the difference exactly? If it's just banjo bolt threading, then big whoop I can take care of that probably. Just don't want to dump $50 on a part if the differences are absolutely zero.

But then again, probably shouldn't.. I dunno.. anyone know the differences?

well i never tried bolting the se ones i had on my 12a car before i sold em, but i know the piston size is different. the se pistons are bigger for the larger rotors. i would assume the mounts are different, but i honestly dont know. best way to find out is to plop it on up there

The calipers are not the same. The gsl-se had larger front rotors, so the calipers will not fit the smaller ones.
