GT 350 brake calipers

So it looks like you remove the two hex bolts and the caliper comes off and you have to hang it from a bungee cord like the Boss versus just sliding it back like your Stoptechs?

I still used a bungee cord to secure the caliper. The GT350 caliper removal procedure will be the same other than you're screwing a bolt into aluminum on the 350 vs a steel jet nut onto a steel stud for the Stoptech and race Brembos. This should be easy to fix although a run of custom made studs could be expensive. I'd pay $100 for four studs/nuts to convert them over if it would not put unnecessary stress on the caliper and I can't imagine it would.

A Stud and Nut setup could work if the brake line is long enough to slide the caliper off the studs.
 
I don't thnk I understood much of anything in this thread .... Interesting though. Time to look into brake kits and learn all of this stuff.
