1989 Big Brakes
Does any one know if 13" rotors were ava. in 1989? If so would it be just the brackets that hold the calipers that are diff.? Thanks as always Donf

Yes, I have a 1989 with the J55 brakes. It was part of the Z51 Performance Handling Package. I believe the calipers are different. I haven't had mine apart as they are in good shape.

Calipers, brackets, and rotors are different, pads are the same.

Any one know anyone who might have a set for sale? I haven't posted a thread on the Parts for sale yet, as this is part of my Winter project. Thanks, Donf
