Aim not to molest but to do intelligent upgrades first of which were the GTS brake rotors 299MM front and 290+ rear vented
replacing the underdone 277MM font and 289 rear solids.
By watching an MTC video that explained the exact differences between the GT and GTS brakes the upgrade was obvious and essential.

Makes sense when you watch it end to end and it means you can upgrade brakes without interfering with hydraulics..
I read all the 86 forums ww, see all the trials and trivilations and wonder why folks molest these cars.
