That's because they are identical, GT and GTi share the same caliper just different carrier and disc  :smiley:

Only way to really tell is to compare the carriers to a known GTi or GT version, GTi carriers will push the caliper further out radially if you were to measure them against the GT ones  :smiley:

The GTi carrier moves the caliper outwards by roughly 12mm compared to the GT carrier (312mm vs 288mm discs) so a quick measure using the centreline of the mounting lugs to the caliper edge should show the difference between the GTi and GT ones?

Thank you kindly......if you go gt to GTi do I need the change the metal plates that sit behind the discs? They look like they will be too small for bigger disc
