Brake upgrade
 
Hi everybody

So I was wondering... Do the larger brakes found on the Turbo version fit on the same year NA version. I found some used Turbo calipers and would love to have that upgrade. My car is a 1986 NA.

My second question is about the Brake Master cylinder. I need to replace or rebuild this. It is the Girling make. Any advise on either where to get a rebuild kit, or should I go for New or rebuilt and if so where should I get that? I was thinking of a used one from DC Automotive.

Ok, thank you for your help all....

You would have to swap front spindles to make them bolt on. You would still be stuck with the small brakes in the rear, as I believe that spacing is different as well. I am not sure about the rears though.

Replace the master, don't try and rebuild something that keeps you alive. Don't bother with used. Buy new.

Hmm, Ok I was thinking that about the Master. I will go with a new one. At this oint anything will be better than the leakey one I have now. Does anybody know where to get a good price on a new one?

So I can go with the new calipers in the front then, I just might think about doing that. I'll let you know how that works out it I descided to do it.


Thanks for the help//
