Caliper swap
Is it possible to swap the 4 piston claipers into a 90 GTU? I thought that the GTU should have he 4 pistons, but the one I looked at does not.
Thanks,
alex

88 GTU does.
Go grab a set off of any manual transmission GXL.

One more question,
is it a direct bolt on? or more complex?

No, you don't want to use the 4 piston calipers on the rear, 1. it would totally throw off your proportioning, and 2, most of the braking is done by the front anyway.
Hell, on my racecar, I've got a proportioning valve and had to limit rear bias to keep the back end from getting loose under hard braking.
