Ok, i've got a 1.2 60 SX, which you may or may not know, have absolutley ****e brakes!!

so i'm thinking of changing it to brakes off a punto GT.

Does anyone know how many part's i'll need to change? e.g hubs and all that.

I know i'll need new calipers and some bits for the back since its got drum brakes on now.

anything i'll need to know or anybody ever done this before?

gt front brakes are same as bravo 1.8 there more calipers on them in scrap yards, i wouldnt worry about the back ones, just fit the calipers and disks to front off a bravo 1.8
on mine i have the bravo 1.8 calipers then i got new red dot disks off ebay for them and ebc green stuff pads, and the back i just fitted new drums and shoes

aha okay then, but is it possible to put discs on the back because it will look crap with bigger wheels on?

yeah but its not as easy as front

quite a few people on psc have done them ok, not really knowing what there doing, took 3 hours or so i think they said but they done it ok.

Anything's possible, given enough time and money.

If there's a Punto with discs on the back then the easiest thing is to find one of those and take all the bits you need off it.

Bear in mind that you'll probably need new calipers, discs, hub, handbrake mechanism (cable?) etc.

Just stick big calipers on the front first and see how you get on.. when the tail is in the air, the brakes don't matter much anyway.

few on here have done it too, it just not a quick job like the front, and you get brake dust on back wheels as well with disks

Back isn't that big a job really...just repalce the whole rear beam for one off a GT, connect up brake pipes and handbrake cables and that's pretty much the end of it....it's about 4 bolts and some clips.
Best place to get info would be by searching here and PSC.

Okay then i'll try the front first, will i just need calipers and discs or will i need caliper mountings aswell?

caliper mountings as well the standard gt or bravo 1.8 ones

I had my front brakes changed to a the GT ones, you will notice the difference
