new braided ss lines, 80-100
new rotors, 200ish for 4
new performance pads 100ish
rebuilding calipers, 25 bucks for 2

looking at 450-500 for that.

there are no 2 piston front calipers, you either have single or 4. you can tell by looking at the caliper, however i think that the 91s all being the same NA car have the 4 pistons. anyone know for sure?

get off the bloody internet!!!!

goto an auto store.

rotors will cost you like $30/pc for the standards, and $50/pc for the better.

and someone ping RETed about the anti-drilled/slotted theory webpage link ( i think it was reted, him or icemark or silverrotor... one of them guys)

heres my thread on it, all single pots though
