hey guys!
I recently inquired about upgradng the brakes on my 91 n/a capri with the popular vr4 galant rotors etc...I gathered all the parts and did a trial fit before removing the axles and hub.as it turns out,the conversion will not fit the n/a because the spindles are made different.the xr2 already has 10" rotors where the n/a's have 9.3" rotors.the new "14-22v" calipers have no more clearance than the stock ones do when bolted to the n/a spindles,therefore in order to upgrade you will the spindle assemblies from a donor xr2 with the 10" backing plates.this also poses the question of changing the splined hub from spindle to spindle so that the axle will fit properly, or if that is not possible then you will have to change transmissions,cv joints or both in order for everything to spline up.Has anyone else tried this upgrade on an n/a and found a better solution?any advice would be helpful.
thanks,
