Brake upgrades

[shojay]

With access to a 95 SHO, What all do I need to remove (besides the knuckles) to upgrade the brakes on a 91???

It depends on what upgrade kit you going with. Some kits use the 94 -95 ABS knuckles. You could use the calipers for cores.

I'm going to go with a 96 upgrade. I currently have a 91 MTX. I know I need the steering knuckles, but what else off the 95 MTX do I need in order to do a 96 upgrde (i.e., caliper brackets, misc bolts,etc.,etc.)???

Also, do those (95) calipers work for the 96 upgrade?

Yes, the calipers from 94/95 are the same as the 96+ calipers. They use different pads with the larger rotors though. If you bought loaded calipers from a parts store to get the caliper brackets, you wouldn't need the 95 calipers, unless for a core.

You'll probably want to grab the caliper bracket bolts.

For the 91 grab the knuckle, caliper bracket, caliper and the bolts that hold the caliper bracket to knuckle. You'll want to get new slider pins as well as new pinch bolts, while you could probably resuse the olds ones, I think it's better to start with new ones.

So, If I have a 93, and I'm going to buy loaded calipers, would I be able to use my 93 calipers as a core? Or, should I just return them, and hope they dont notice the difference?

 

[K-Dawg]

Return them at a different time. They probably won't know the difference. But I didn't tell you that.

Thanks everyone! While I'm at it, do I want anything off the rear?

 

[K-Dawg]

Nope. 93+ SHOs all had solid rear rotors.
