the gsi, turbo and v6 use a bigger diameter disc to the normal models.
the normal models have a couple of differences... the disc can bolt onto the rear hub or have the bearing
in the disc itself...

iirc there are to types of gsi disc to... one is square at the top and one has a slight angle...

i have a set of drilled ond grooved rear gsi disc for sale ;)
or a set of brembo rear discs for gsi ;)

A cav 4 stud rear disc is a cav 4 stud rear disc, same size and diameter - 260mm if I recall, solid disc.
Are the fronts uprated too?
