Reride Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 After searching the forum I still couldn't find the answer I was seeking. I recently purchased a '94 Cutty vert LQ1 parts car that has brand new brakes all around!. My question is would the front & rear brakes (rotors & pads) swap directly to my '92 3.1 CS vert or would I need to change the calipers as well. I know that a upgrade exsists out there, but don't know if a '94 brakes would be an upgrade for '92 car or not. Thanks in advance, Steve Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 The 94 rear brake swap is worth doing. The rear calipers from the 94 will bolt on to the 92 car. That is worth doing as the 92 rear brakes aren't that great. Quote
Reride Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks, 94 Olds Vert! So I do need to swap the rear calipers. Do the front Calipers need to be swapped as well? I also plan on swapping the F&R sway bars and STB too. I'm sure there will be many other things taken from car and put on my '92 in the future. Quote
RobertISaar Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 92 and 94 front brakes SHOULD be identical unless someone else swapped them. late 95s and beyond got the larger fronts brake setup(11.25 vs 10.5 IIRC). Quote
Reride Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Posted January 27, 2013 Robert, Thanks for reply! Now I know what I'll be doing next weekend. Weather permitting. Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 X2 on what Robert said about the front brakes. It takes a lot to put the newer 96+ (late 95s?). It's not as easy as swapping the caliper and rotors. Quote
Reride Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, I would assume that spindles and maybe some steering stuff would be needed for the front brake swap since the rotors are larger. My project for this weekend is the '94 rears and the near new '94 fronts to my '92. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 When I did the 94 rears I only needed 4 shorter caliper bracket bolts Quote
Reride Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I pulled the rotors & calipers off the '94 this afternoon and unbolted the rear sway bar. Can I remove one of the rear shocks to remove the rear sway bar or would the car drop? Who sells braided steel brake lines for our Cutty's? Edited February 2, 2013 by Reride Quote
intern8tion9l Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Goodridge makes the brake lines, look them up for the chevy lumina and you will find them Quote
