Default Differences between Classic & Newage

Are there any differences between Classic & Newage when it comes to fitting brakes? Eg: will a brake setup from a Classic fit a Newage and vice versa (ignoring wheel size).

Newage 4-pots appear to be an upgrade for Classics, so I'm presuming that the mounts for the calipers are the same and therefore after-market brake brackets will be the same for either? Or am I missing something?

Yes they do fit fit mate. I put newage 4 pots on my classic. Good upgrade. I'm fitting brembos to it now though. All you need is the discs and calipers and you're good to go!

I suspected at much. I'm considering and aftermarket kit originally fitted to a Classic (to put on my Newage) and wanted to be sure that the mounting brackets/lines etc would all fit.

The only thing you need to watch is the PCD. Classic and some earlier newage are 5x100 and later stuff is 5x114.3. Not a big issue really, just replace the discs with the correct PCD.

It's a 2002 so guessing that it's still 5x100
