S2 upright on a S1

[40GT]

Are there any differences that would make fitting S2 uprights to a S1 car difficult, ie does any geometry change, steering track contact, ball joints etc.

The reason I ask is I have quite a few Girling 18/4, 16/4 calipers along with various AR/BR and CR too, the problem is all these calipers have a 3.5 inch mounts, non have 3 inch as the S1.

Just putting the question out there so I can decide whether to just buy new S1 Zues and be done.

Cheers, Sean.

Hello Sean,
No problem whatsoever.

If uprating the front then you need to think about the rear.

Thanks Bill, yes Steve the previous owner had put S2 calipers on the rear, whether these will pair with 18/4's I need to look into.

Hello Sean,
One thing I forgot to mention, is that you will probably have to change the position of the mount brackets that are spot welded to the Rotor backing panels, but that isn't a big job.

Would Sean need to fit flat hub wheels if he changes the uprights, discs and calipers for Series 2 parts?

No.

My S1 has S2 uprights. No idea when they were acquired. Before my stewardship of the car.
