I just want to confirm starion struts will bolt in to a gk and what the min thickness of a front starion rotor is?
Also are they much of an upgrade for a street car?

The strut tops won't fit but you would just use the GK ones.karl_2ltgc wrote:I just want to confirm starion struts will bolt in to a gk and what the min thickness of a front starion rotor is?
The Starion rotor
Original Thickness is 24mm
Final thickness is 22.4mm.
Sigma are 256mm and solid.karl_2ltgc wrote:Also are they much of an upgrade for a street car?
Starion are 256mm AND vented.
They would weigh a bit more so the unsprung mass would increase but they would be less susceptible to brake fade.
Over all, a bonus for hard driving.
Cheers.

Scott, just gotta find a better street legal caliper to go with them.
This is what ill be puttin on my LC, but still trying to find a legal 4 pot caliper that will fit it......might just go willwood's until i get it back on the road, but then again i just want to be able to build it, race it and then rego it.
Cheers Matt

I am in the middle of putting Starion Struts into my GN. Front struts are bolt in when you change the strut tops. Here is a pic of both a GJ-GN and Starion JA strut tops :
The rear rotors and callipers are bolt on for a Scorpion diff.
I also have done some research on GJ-GN brakes vs Starion JA brakes. As well as alternative brake pads:
