No, the brackets are not the same. The spindle (the actual strut) is however
that same. Therefore that G-60, and it's caliper/pad bracket can be bolted
up to the older strut housing without any mods. You cannot however just swap
the G-60 caliper over to the older strut and caliper bracket.

The big black rig that the caliper bracket bolts to.....
