Brake pad question.

[jmpSHO]

I'm about to to the 11.6 upgrade kit on my 95 ATX and I just want to make sure what calipers I need. Do I need the calipers from a 92 and if I do are the pads the same for a 92 and 95 SHO. I was going to order Hawk HPS pads but they don't have them for the 92 SHO but they do have them for the 95.

If your car is a 95 , then for the upgrade you only need the brackets and the rotors. The calipers in 94-95 are good to keep. And you need the 94-95 pads.

If you want the vented rotors in the rear , NOW you need the 92 rear calipers. But if you ask me , that rear upgrade is mostly useless.

lol Everyone told me it was useless after I already ordered the upgrade kit from SHO Source so I figured I would still go ahead with it. I do want the vented calipers for the rear, mine are junk anyways. Are the pads different for a 92 and 95?

My first statement from my previous post is for the front. just to make this clear.

As for the rear pads , I am unsure , I dont want to point you in the wrong direction.

I believe the 11.6 brake upgrade is also known as the '96 upgrade' This would be for the front.

You need calipers from the 96 and brake pads for the 96.

You keep the spindle.

nope calipers are the same.

Calipers will work from 94 & 95. Pads are different.

Whoa, lots of confusion in this thread.

For the 11.6" rear upgrade from SHOSource, you'll need 89-92 rear SHO calipers. These calipers and pads are different than what is on your 95. You need rear pads for a 89-92 SHO. SHOSource carries the Hawk pads in this size.

For the front 11.6" upgrade, you need Gen 3 SHO brackets and Gen 3 SHO pads.

I should have said it was for the rear.
