Same calipers, larger rotors. Hardware headaches

Well Pappy, looks likes your brain cells are still in working order.

The rear rotors of the 85-86 series car measure 9 1/2" diameter and the 87-89 series measure 10 1/4" which as you suggested would mandate a different caliper bracket.

Supercharged models use the 87-89 criteria as well.

Being in a measuring mode I found the same goes for the front vented brake rotors as well.

The 85-86 series measures 9 1/2" (5/8" thick)and the 87-89 series cars run a 10" diameter rotor at 3/4" thick.

In conclusion, bro's you can use any caliper anywhere but the brackets and the rotors are gonna drive you crazy
