For full features; Go to Rear Brake Issues, HELP!
Ok so i think that I am having similiar issues. I have a 93 GS with 4 wheel
disc brakes. Now the problem is, is that if i look for my car specific 2wd
the only thing listed is a caliper, rotor and pads kit for the front. Do
they not make calipers for the rear, I know that I can find rotors for the
rear but having issues finding calipers.
Is it possible to use the awd set up, they come with calipers for the rear
in the kit.

What would it take to get performance big brakes on the rear of my car?

I must have searched for hours last night trying to find something. This
is good, but the only problem is that while reading through the products
description the rear calipers that would be used makes the parking brake
inoperable. Do you think there is anyway around this?

I don't think there is any way around this. 1G e-brakes are a kind of there
own you know. come to think of it I think I know a kid that converted his
1G rear brakes to a 2G set up. I'm not sure how he made out. If you don't
mind me asking. What is the reason you want to upgrade the rear brake? For
looks...performance?

well i realize that the braking is probly like 70/30 but i thought it might
look stupid with a nice big brake set up in front and something that dont
even look right on the rear. Thinking i may just end up replacing the
stock calipers having them painted red and jus upgrading my rotors and
brake lines. I mainly want performance yes, i like to tear up and down the
mountain roads. The more and more i think about this i may be better off
jus selling this and buying an awd modle, but if i think about that i may
jus get a diff car all together i dont know anymore.. lol I talked with a
mechanic about doing a engine swap and the price it would cost me i could
buy an awd one. Do you know anything about swaping a 2.0 DOHC for a 4g63t
motor, mechanic said it should mount right up but was not sure about the
wiring harnesses.

I'm not a big fan of the whole non turbo to turbo swap. It is possible but
it will be really expensive. As what your mechanic said,which he is right,
the cost of the swap could get you a nice stock awd turbo dsm. But if you
really want to do the swap I can help you out just tell me ill pm you a
guide of what you need to manage the swap.
DARKtEAGLE
Heres a suggestion. Have you ever thought about taking your single piston
1Ga rear calipers and swaping them out for two piston 1Gb rear calipers. An
easy rear brake upgrade that thousands of 1Ga Dsmers have done to get a
little more braking power for the rear.
