29681, Brake upgrade question.
Posted by cwill2517, Jul-30-06 07:24 PM
Um I am relatively new to this board and I was wondering about something that others might be able to help me out with. Ok I have been looking around and plan of delving into the GSX front brake conversion, but after that come my question. I have also read about the disc to drum conversion on the rear, and I was wondering if I could buy a new stock front caliper and use that along with the old stock rotors for the rear. I know this sounds plausible to me but is there any special problems that I will run into and other than what is on the writeup will I need. Thanks I appreciate all the help I can get.

completely different rotors.

Not only are the rears smaller and not vented, but they also hold the e-brakes like a drum set up, inside the rotor "hats".

Actually, most '95's came with vented rear rotors. Both of mine have them. Just to clarify.

Does this also apply to the caliper assembly? I am upgrading my front brakes to the GSX Brakes and would like to use the calipers from the front to replace the rear drums. Is this possible?
