Brake swap: 1.8 rotors and pads
Bought 1.8 calipers and brackets.
90-93 and 94-97 calipers are identical, yes? From what resulted from a search, I plan to buy NAPA blank rotors and Axxis Ultimates. This still the best street application? How's the noise? Probably get the pads off ebay. Found F&R for $80 shipped. Anyone get a better price? Should I swap the rear rotors as well? Suggestions? |
yes, might as well do them both.
I'm runng HP+ and they are VERY squeaky, but i stop fast as shit now, so it's only for a quick second ;) |
Nice.
Guess I should look for rear brackets. As I understand, the bias is front heavy anyway, will front-only brake swap make it even worse/bad idea? Anyone swap to stainless lines? Mine are crusty old stockers, I bet it would make a decernable difference. Any opinion? Crap, maybe I should do the fluid while i'm at it. And what's with the "master cylinder brace" Not many running one |
have a friend push the brake and watch the master/firewall flex....then wedge a screwdriver under it and do the same.
fluid is a good idea...might flush with a 500° type |
You should consider replacing the prop valve at this time. Best way to add rear bias (which imo is needed--I purchased a 94-97 non abs valve for my 91)

The following table will refer to this chart. Up to pressure A, the front and rear pressures are equal. After this point - termed the "knee point" - the rear pressure is a fixed percentage of the front. |
