Interested in knowing all the parts and what it entailed. Also don't you have to delete the e-brake for this?

Calipers, Rotors, Brackets, and Brake lines

I got all my parts at http://www.kore3.com/index.php

On the rear if you have the 4 channel abs you have to delete the e-brake. I have the 4 channel abs but I modified my factory bracket and the parking brake shoe to make it work. My e-brake works.

That is badass. Also, your car is clean as hell. I love how you painted everything in the wheel wells, I need to do that.

Absolutely Beautiful! I've always loved your car and even more so now with the SP 500's and BBK.

******* christ that's HAWT!!!


And it's about time someone addresses the rear brakes as well! What kind of rear end is that? Dana60 or 12b? I've read that the stock rears on ours use a floating caliper which makes upgrades a little difficult to find since most of our performance upgrades would be a fixed caliper.

I'm not even gonna ask about the cost......... I have an idea, and I can't afford it right now..

Sorry to pull up an old thread but I am about to do this swap and would love some pointers on what you needed to modify on your rear bracket to make the ebrake work. I thought I was about to buy a ipsco pbrake kit but hearing you made the factory setup work is great! Granted I haven't even looked at the bracket yet to get an idea... A point in the right direction would be appreciated! Any pics of the bracket mod?
