I could be wrong, but I think all 88-96 rear brakes are identical.

Default Thanks guys!

For the input on the deal with the GS stuff. I guess I'll just rebuild my J55's for now. Save the coin as them GS calipers are a bit pricey...sure do look cool though! Maybe after I fix all the important stuff I'll have some $ left over for some bling someday. Maybe this time I buy those PowerBrute sloted & drilled rotors and call it a day.

Again thank you Larryfs, Sidney004 & Lefoy84....it is truly the people and not so much the car!


Tom

any hints on using the ecklers caliper kit??
Do you assemble the tin pieces first into an assembly with the seal, or build it from the caliper housing first, and build outwards??

I can't see how that middle rubber seal will push into the caliper housing with the assembly connected.

also, was the kit suppose to come with the 2 little side springs??
it seems those 2 little side springs pull back on the assembly.

Mine are pretty stretched out and did not come with the kit..
