Those look like the 89-up rear PBR disc brake setup. If your car is an 89 and up, and it has disc brakes, I wouldn't bother with those because you already have them. If it is an 88 and earlier or you have drum brakes, then it's a worthwhile upgrade. I don't know what's involved in switching from drum to disc though, wo somebody will hopefully chime in on that one. EDIT: I just re-read it and he says it's out of an '87. I'd go look at them to make sure. the 88-earlier rear discs had a tendency to seize and become non-functional after some time. |

Those are the same as early 4th gen brakes. I bought calpiers rotors, brake lines, and pads lightly used for $90. Then you need special brackets if you are going from drum>Disc like me. the brackets/cables and new prop valve cost me like $250 if I remember correctly, the prop valve was the most expensive part. I think it might be an ok deal. Just contact ebmiller88 on TGO about them. |

First thing you need to do is, Make up youre mind what direction youre going with youre car, Its seems as if youre constantly changing youre mind and just thinking of crap to spend money on that none of will amount to anything. Step back, make a plan, then go at it, 1 step at a time. |

If everything you ae buying is for your next car then you need to stop buying. You have no idea whta you are going to get next. Z28, TA, GTA, TTA etc... Wait to see what you get then go to town. Otherwise you will be posting a lot of shit for sale on ebay cause you did not need it. |

Thats the reason i said that, because if and when u do get a crate engine. You will need a new rear. The stock pegleg wont cut it with a 427.. So then with a new 12 bolt or 9" you will be buying a new rear brake setup anyway. Or it will be coming with the rear. |
