just bought sei rear suspension

[89dxowner]

I may have to do this swap someday. Sounds like a lot of work though.

I thought the cables were discontinued as a dealer stock item. Atleast they aren't listed on San Leandro or Majestic, my local dealer told me the same thing. I posted a thread with the part numbers I got from NAPA if anyone is intersted go search for the. I think the thread title was "true cost of doin the se-i swap" or something like that. All the prices and partnumbers for EVERYTHING is on that thread

I talked to my dealer and they said it was $80 each special order for sei cables.

yea so do we need new cables or can we use the originals? like i said, i have an 88 lxi sedan and the only think im not sure about is the ebrake cables. if i need new ones then i gotta get them, otherwise if i just have to drill i can do that a lot easier.

found the cost thread vinny. thanks!

yea you will be able to use the coupe cables on the sedan, I just did it on my car!

[Vinny]

THEY ARE THE SAME CABLES PEOPLE If you look on Majestics site they emergency brake cables for the LX-i coupe's and the LX_i sedan share the same part numbers for the parking brake cable for DRUM brakes. Hence the cables are the same on the sedan and coupes with disc brakes. Same on the SE-i's. Both cables are the same between the SE-i coupe and the SE-i sedan. You WILL need SE-i brake cables, but they can come off a SE-i coupe or SE-i sedan

thanks for the info, but since i dont have the cables, I still have to buy them

[Vinny]

good luck with getting them from the dealer, I habve a feeling its not going to happen though. Usually when parts aren't available throught Majestic or San Leandro, they aren't available at all

[hootymo]

awesome so what u guys are saying is that i dont need any new ebrake cables for my 88 lxi sedan, i just use the ones that are on there now? if so thats very cool. thanks.

[Vinny]

No you will need the e brake cable for the SE-i disc brakes. But....it can come of an SE-i sedan or an SE-i coupe. You can't use the cable off a car with drum brakes.

[Justin86]

he he he the only problems I have encountered is with the bigger rotors. Since the calipers now sit 2" more out they usual not everything lines up. One bracket on the ebrake won't line up and the front brake line won't line up, I had to disconnect the bracket that holds it to the suspension.

justin86 you have one beautiful suspension my friend,two thumbs up!

i just finished putting on the rear disk brake conversion last night...It took me a freakin while getting in on, and the funny thing was....I knew what I was doing, so its not the easiest job in the world. But I still can't get my ebrake to work...Cables are pretty stretched out. I still have to mess with it though.

Thanks man, but it is still a work in progress, just need to work on these damn upper strut bars and lower tie bars. Then try to convert to tubular suspension in the end.

Hey Vinny, not to step on your reply but Majestic does have the SEi E-brake cables they are $49.18 a piece with a $4.95 S&H they came in yesterday.

good news to me. Last time i called they said they were a discontinued item. See if I listen to them again

When you get someone who is lazy or doesn't really know their job and gives you bad information.
But, now there is a glimmer of hope again.
