First gen brake update article?

Last I heard the only way to do 2g front brakes was to run 2g struts which basically required redoing the whole front suspension. Putting late 1g parts on though yields an improvement for less work. Don't quote me on any of this

Nope, I'm pretty sure that mr bean is right. There was a pretty awesome write up with pics of the whole 1g to 2g rear brake conversion. They didn't cover the front brakes. That was before this site changed over to the new version and all the links broke though...

 

From what I remember you needed the knuckle and brake components. The knuckle had to be modified slightly to fit. Wish I remembered enough of it and cared enough about my car to have done it!

 

Edit: Also, obviously, you have to ditch the monoleaf since the 2g knuckle doesn't have the perch for it. Do a coilover conversion at the same time?

I am looking for this article as well, anyone know where it is? It talked about taking the rear brake assembly from a 2nd gen GP to put on a 1st gen. Figured bumping this old thread is easier than making my own.

This way the next person to search for it using the search feature might find it!
