anyone know if i can use gen1 slo calipers on my 91 sho?




Edit: nevermind, a new rear caliper is only $18 anyways

 

[K-Dawg]

I don't think the rear calipers for the vented rotors are $18. If so, let me know where.

 

[SHOtime2511]

yeah,if you can buy new calipers for $18 ill take 10 please!!

 

[AREA 91]

The last set of rear caliper's I bought were $75 each, plus a core.

I believe any rear disc taurus/sable will work from 86-92 for the rear vented.

Drew and I looked two days ago. Didn't see it there anymore.

And, the rear calipers from a SLO will work. The rear one's on Gen 2's and Gen 1's were the same from SLO to SHO!

gen 1's had vented rear disks and gen 2's did not thus IIRC the calipers are diffrent.

He meant that all Gen 1 (SLO & SHO) were the same, and all Gen 2 (SLO & SHO) are the same. Just remember that the switch to solid rear disk happened in 93, so there is 1 year of Gen 2 that still had the vented rotors of the Gen 1.

Also, there may be a difference between Gen 1 calipers. The SLO came with phenolic pistons, where the SHO had steel. It's very possible that there are SLOs with steel pistons, but I'd double check when you take it off the car. The phenolics had problems with getting soft with heat.

That's what I meant...thanx

turns out i didnt have to replace the caliper. put in some earl's stainless lines and no more brake light, dragging and pedal feel.

also greased the sliders.

 

[ScottyDsntKno]

Sorry to hijack but I have a question. Since the gen 1s and the 92s had vented rear rotors can we just switch to gen 1 or 1992 rear rotors when we need new brakes as an upgrade or are the calipers different too?

 

[K-Dawg]

Calipers are different. I think the spindles or hubs are different, also.
