#30932, "BIG brake upgrade: Diamante Calipers front, info for you"

I've searched all over the site and couldn't find any information about Diamante Calipers for our 2g's. I was walking through a salvage yard looking for a rear disc conversion when I found these 2 piston calipers just laying beside a Diamante. Bought em and did some experimenting, so here ya go, Some Q & A:

Q: Do 2 piston Diamante calipers work as an upgrade for my 2g?

A: YES, direct bolt on. You will need the Diamante rotors however; they are 19.99 each new from AutoZone or just grab them from your donor car. Brake lines from a 1g needed if you get an earlier Diamante say like the 94' these came off in the picture below.




Q: I see in your picture you have the AEM 2gnt "big brake" upgrade as well, does it actually work together?

A: NO, VERY SADLY, it doesn't. The diamante caliper is bolted up for the picture only, this AEM rotor would have to be about an inch bigger to work. Take a closer look below. What will work is the GSX AEM big brake upgrade.



Calipers from 94' Diamante ES 3.0 Ltr. V6 sedan 4dr. Wheels are 18s.
