4730, disc brake conversion
Posted by vegastoy, Nov-29-01 01:18 AM
ok, well its finally done, just one major problem.....im not sure of the exact years but i had gotten my hole brake assambly and rotors from a gst but i got my calipers from a gsx, and guess what they didnt fit....they are too big, and cant be used!!! everything else went pretty well, taking the ebrake out from the drums is a pain but not that bad and reassambling it is not prize either but once its done the other side is cake...for the record, the stock ebrake lines that go to the drums are fine, the proportioning valve is fine, and any other bullshit that is posted is defintely bullshit, lol....


so now all i have to do is wait until the junkyard ocates a pair of calipers and im done...ok later

rear disc calipers(these were used on vented rear rotors). The later 95awd and all 96&up used solid rear rotors and smaller calipers. Good luck.

Wow...I bought mine for $100 for everything. I was lucky though and bought it local and the guy just threw in the dust shield backing/drums and the rotors.
