90 rear brakes onto a 93

[BamSHO]

I need to replace rear brake parts on my 93. I just replaced most of the rear brakes and rubber lines on the 90 thats now down at Area 51's. I should just be able to take off the caliper bracket bolts and rotors and be to swap assembles right. The really one difference is the rotors, 90 is vented and 93 is thin piece. I just blew rear hard lines the other day and have to replace one caliper on pass side, been freezing up.

The wheel bearings are different also. IIRC they're a slightly different offset. It may be easier to just swap over both rear knuckles from the 90 to the 93, complete with brakes and all parts.

Crap, that puts a kink in things. Since the 90 is about 35 miles away.

Thanks anyways

My bro and I did this exact swap and we moved the knuckle complete with brakes and all parts.

I wanted to do the same thing and one person said all I needed was the dust shield, rotors and calipers. Not saying that is the definite solution, but it's worth looking into.

Yeah, going to double check with Brian when I go down to look at the 90.

I put gen 1 brakes on my 94, you have to swap the gen 1 knuckle calipers and everything or it wont work.

I too upgraded my 93 to vented rotors. I used the complete hub rotor and caliper assembly. The problem was that my 89 did not have ABS sensors(plastic rings) on the hubs. So I ended up swapping to 90 hubs this summer. In your case this should not be a problem but double check that all the ABS stuff is there.

Yeah the 90 has ABS, so I know that wont be a problem.
