11" Disc, single pot caliper compared to 10" Disc, twin pot caliper in the prefacelift.

Also just did a dodgy measurement of my brakes (facelift is same as GT4 A) and got 280mm, which is around about 11".

good upgrade for 165, straight bolt-on, just get bigger rotor and calliper brackets. Face-lift and Rally came out with 277mm discs while rest had pathetic 254mm discs (+twin pot).

No, they are quite different. A guy on toymods has done it, hes on here very occasionally as well under the name classique71. Might be an idea to try get contact of him.
