Returning from running my Turbo-1 swapped 1982 Rampage at the GRM Challenge this weekend, one thing that I came away with was that I really wanted (more realistically needed) to upgrade the brakes to stop better both for handling purposes but also safety (both on the strip and on the road). I've...

I am looking to upgrade the struts and brake calipers on my 1986 Shelby Omni. I cannot seem to find any aftermarket struts or calipers that are bolt-on upgrades? I am able to buy the stock replacements from AutoZone, but not the Shelby struts (Konis). If I want to upgrade these components, is...

Rear disc set up from 87' SL. Pulled from my donor. Booster, MC, PV, rear calipers, hubs and spindles. Basically everything needed for conversion except pads and rotors. Rears are solid rotor version with internal e-brake. Calipers should be rebuilt from sitting and the rest cleaned up a bit...

i have an 84 shelby charger and im lookin to do a rear disc brake swap and its 4 lug, the most common and readily available 4 lug disc brake setup i can find seems to be from an escort! LOL they used the same setup from 92-02, has anyone messed with these? has anyone done any 4 lug rear disc...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to bleed the brakes on my 86' GLHS that I picked up. I had to replace the passenger rear wheel cylinder and metal brake line. But now when I bleed the brakes, only the drivers rear will bleed. I can't even feel air coming out of the bleeder valves. help?

I need pics of the big brakes that came on the 90 and up daytona's. by big i mean the 11 inch brakes with the vented rears. i need pics of the FRONT brakes fully assembled! thanks guys!!!

I guess the title says it all. How do I correctly adjust that load sensing valve on my Caravan. I am also wondering what the effect of adding helper springs to the back to keep the rear from sagging with my kids in it. Apparently, 23 year old rear leaf springs can't handle a full tank of gas...

So today, I bought the love of my life. A 1984 Shelby Charger. It is in absolutely wonderful condition, however, the brake pedal is VERY stiff and hard to push down, and the car does not stop like it should, it takes a LOT of effort to bring her to a halt. I've got a feeling it's the brake...

I recently came into a 1990 Dodge Omni I want to rebuild and am a total Noob to Turbo Dodges. I posted a thread awhile saying how I found it in someones backyard before they gave it to a junkyard and had some awesome help with motor ideas..So here's what I'm working with... Interior is spotless...

Ok, so both of the front brakes lock up after pushing the pedal(Which is really hard) WE get good pressure to the calipers, but then the pressure doesn't release. we can release the pressure through the bleeder. What im told, there is a brass or copper washer in between the rubber hose to the...

so today i was getting off the interstate and heard a pop in the right front, stopped in a parking lot and found that the rubber line on the right front brake had blown. No biggy, i got that replaced, but when i went to bleed the brakes i found that all but one was stuck, so used a torch and...

ok so after i got my car back from the shop for a alignment, when i had the breaks going like 50mph the car wants to sway or lean to the drivers side like the drivers side breaks are working more than the passager side. i have bled the breaks and the passager side does squirt out so i dont...

Just need to know if the brake hoses ( caliper to frame) on an L-body are interchangeable from side to side other than the bracket that holds it to the strut. I need my charger up and running for Monday and I have a bad hose on passenger side. The local parts place only has the drivers side ( of...

Making room for a bike im bringing home Saturday. Less i have, the more shelves i can clear out! Everything is open to offers. I have no attachment to any of it. You pay shipping, unless otherwise noted. Shipping could take me a bit as i work up to 15 hours Monday-Saturday(Sunday if its...

I've got a 88 Daytona Pacifica (turbo, a555) and I need to replace the calipers on it. I'd like to upgrade the brakes so I think now would be a good time to do it. My question is what would be the best upgrade I can do? I've done some research and I'm still not sure on what would be the best...

Ok, tons of stuff, all parts in US dollars plus shipping. If you don't like the price, ask and I can say yes or no. I also have tons of other stuff, ask and you might be surprised or not, lots of minivan stuff too. ;) Paypal or money orders and please be patient on shipping, sometimes it right...

is there a rear disk converson for an 87 shelby charger?

I installed NHT red-powder-coated calipers on the front of my 2001 about 18 months ago. Time to do the rears so I order the same product for the rear. They look identical to OEM so no problem, I thought. Go to hook up the brake lines and the banjo bolt and brake hose have a SMALLER thread than...

i have an 89 lebaron GTC 2.2 intercooled with the A555 trans. i am redoing the breaks on it and when i took the calipers off i noticed that the pads looked like they were warped. i think the sliders need to be lubed. how/ where should i lube the sliders?
