Big Brake Conversion
Big Brake Conversion
K i have a quick question for the knowledgables here.
For the Re-Speed big brake conversion kit, it says you need TII calipers, rotors and pads.
My question is; are TII calipers and rotors different from N/A 2nd gen calipers.
There has been mixed info in different threads about needing just any second gen calipers and rotors or TII specifically.
I know some of the 2nd gens came with a 4 lug pattern so those rotors wouldnt work, but what about the calipers?
Thanks in advance

You're looking for 5-lug hubs and rotors, and 4-piston calipers. If you find them on an NA car, then so be it. They'll work. Realize that the FC guys are looking for 5-lug suspensions for the same reason that 12A guys look for GSL-SE suspensions. There's always a chance you'll have found a swapped car.
So if I was buying New/refurbed Calipers would I need the hard suspension or normal suspension?
On places like rockauto they seem to be different. How do I tell the difference, or does it even matter as long as its a 4 piston?
