I say you should stick with your stock brakes and just concentrate on helping any friends who may be in the middle of a motor swap.

haha me have excuses? I think we'll have to see. With a 10lb flywheel mated to all the other mods on the T2 motor, you'll have to push yourself much harder just to catch a glimpse of the reflectors on my tail lights


Its a burning desire, takes my heart and soul WOAH OHHHH

are you asking if the rotors are the same between the 4 pistons and single piston brakes?? I don't think so.

Yes I think the 4piston caliper rotors are larger. Not sure though.

From the 88 FSM:
4-lug rotors have an effective diameter of 204mm (f) & 225mm(r).
5-lug rotors have an effective diameter of 230mm (f) & 237mm(r).
