29489, Will Avenger Rear Brakes work for Drum to Disc Conversion?
Posted by stangmurdera, Jun-21-06 05:46 AM
I have already done a rear drum to disc brake conversion to my 96 RS using brakes from another Eclipse. I currently parted out a 96 Avenger with rear disc brakes and they appear to be the same as on mine. Will these brakes work for the conversion? I have searched but all articles say that you need GS, GST, or GSX brakes and nothing about Avenger Disc Brakes which look like they will work.

The back of the hub looks different on the Avenger. When you do the drum to disc conversion, can you use the same hub assembly from the drum assembly?

My ESI has rear discs, maybe the ABS cars came with discs?
