Thinking of getting the Lincoln MK VII calipers with the 73MM steel pistons. I have the spindels from a 90 GT and turbo coupe wheels. I am getting set to do the 11" rotor upgrade. I was wondering if I could use the MK VII calipers now on the stock 10" setup. Then when I am ready to upgrade I can change out the spindle and rotor. Is the mounting the same and just further away from center or is it different enough that I will have to do it all at once. Since changing a caliper is easy I thought I could change one piece at a time, that way I could make sure everthing works before going on.
It seems that there are differences. If I get rebuilt MK VII calipers to use with the GT spindels, what else am I going to need. I know new brake hose and pads, but will I also need shims and caliper bolts?
