    The front will not fit without some clearancing.

    It's not a bolt-on.

    The most common way to complete the swap is to get the upright, hubs, calipers and brackets from an 88-89 fuel-injected car.

    kk..
    Yeah, I just wanted to get me drilled rotors, but all I find is 88-89, no 86-87 cross drilled..
    The reason why I dont want to swap is that I'm going with twin piston calipers soon so, If you have any suggestions where or what works, it will be much appreciated

    dos anyone know difference between 88-89 front pads and 86-87 brake pads? are they same? or maybe they may be modified it different?

    Sorry that I ask so neat but there is no sticky on this subject, maybe we make one for ppl like me

    I surely wouldn't worry about cross drilled rotors.

    Buy a cheap set of blanks and a good set of pads.

    Crossdrilled are a waste of money and will just have lower pad life as they're more abrasive.

    buy some twin piston calipers from me and you will be set sticking with your 86-87 gear, they are all you need, work good over here even in hard driving even if the disk is smaller lol

    Re: Need help w/Brake disk choice

    Yes Aaron this is why I was warring about rotor choice, as I'm more interested in twin piston calipers.
    I must agree with 86AccordLxi on rotors, I read about that wear issue so no brembo for me then.. but I was checking some nice Ceramic pads from HAWK but they are only for 88-89, wil they fit the 86-87 calipers? or if you can show me what pads are good?
