Hi guys

I wouldn't bother unless you are running BIG power...........it takes ALOT of modification to fit them.

Put a set of AC knuckles, rotors and calipers on the GSR........or covert to TM - TP magna.........you can also use the magna rears on the cordia.

Plenty for day to day braking.

When I undertook this conversion I also replaced the boost and master cylinder to magna..........it's a straight swap, but you need to plug the underside two lines in the master and use the side ones..........other guys on here still run the cordia gear............but I found once the rears were completed the brake pedal wasn't as high due to the rotor size was larger than the booster.

At the moment I run the 3000GT brakes with TL magna booster and master.

Ideally you want to use the smallest master cylinder possible that will supply enough volume of fluid to the brakes. Changing caliper size or changing from drum to disc brakes alters the bias and not always in a better way.

If they fit a magna they will fit your cordia.
