22530, Rear disk conversion donor cars...
Posted by XtremeRS, Feb-19-04 10:25 AM
Exactly what model/year cars can I tell a junk yard to rip the rear disk parts off of? I believe the avenger/sebring parts will work right? Its very hard finding eclipses/talons out where i'm at..Also, I believe i remember someone saying that they were able to use the current e-brake lines somehow? How does that work.. Thanks for any info.

I have also read a write-up saying that the drum brake emergency cables can be re-used. Others say to get new ones for disc brake set-up. If you ahve the patience get the Disc ones. Kind of a pain to feed them in though since it goes through the grommet in the floor pan and under the carpet to the center console. Worth the work IMO.

Cannot help you in terms of what cars are usably. I would imainge Avenger/Sebrings rear disc brakes would work. Check NAPAONLINE.COM and compare part numbers for different vehicles and see if they match.

I used a Sebring rear disc on mine. The only difference i saw was the parking brake cable is a couple inches longer and the rubber grommet has to be swapped from your car onto the other cable. Put SS brake lines for a GS on at same time. So far, have had no problems.
