G8X Brake Calipers

Can G8X Front Brake Calipers swap for those who have 2NH brakes?

Just curious if anyone has done this.

No, they mount differently. Why would you though? They aren't bigger.

I dont have access to both to look at them. Looked for photos of the 2 side by side no luck.

G8x Fronts are 380mm with the M2C 400mm?

Mounting points can be different from 2 different Hubs to accommodate different rotor sizes on the same caliper.

They're quite different, but I'm sure if you contacted Track/S he'd be able to fit them for you. lol

My question would be why. Too big, too heavy, no need at all. I'll bet they are 5-8 lbs heavier per corner.

Just out of curiosity. Rather than getting the red m performance 2NH front calipers. Not for "performance" just got aesthetics

They can be adapted without any problem, but it doesn't make any sense, 2NH caliper are much prettier and lighter

It's probably more cost effective to get your 2NH calipers painted.
