TII brakes on 91' N/A: Help needed
Right now im in the market and soon going to buy a full set of TII brakes (calipers, rotors, and pads) that I hopefully will be installing on my 91' N/A coupe. From what i've read, the TII brakes bolt directly onto the 91' nubs. Im just woundering if I am correct or will I need to buy a set of TII hubs (please say I dont). Also, if theres anything eles that I need to complete this swap.
-Thanks, for the help, Andrew

Get stainless steel brakes for a TII(Soft Lines). You will also need the hard lines that go from the calipers to the struts. You can order them from a dealer for around $16

I have a 91 GXL and have 4 pot fronts and vented rears. I found this out the hard way when I was buying rear calipers. I have a set of non-vented calipers "brand new" for sale if you need. I think that is pretty much the standard on brakes unless you have a 4 lug. I could be wrong though?
p.s. No i did not swap the TII brakes or anything, they were stock on my GXL

Hey srry im already buyin vented rears from somone eles, but thank you anyway. One more question though, the short hard lines from the caliper to the shock, do i need that for the front and rear? Asking because I just called the dealer and they said the front ones would be $13.52each(no problem) and the rear ones would be $54.87each(damn expensive). Is is possible to get away with using the SS lines im buying(for TII calipers) and the stocks hard lines of my N/A rears. Thanks for the help.

Let's get silly...

I did this conversion earlier this spring. At a minimum you need:
1. Front 4-pot calipers
2. Rear vented rotors
3. Rear calipers for vented rotors
4. Hardlines between the flex lines and the caliper for the fronts
Rear pads are the same, front pads are different.
The rear hard and flex lines are the same between the setups (on the S5 anyway)
Im not sure if you can reuse the flex lines on the front but since you are getting braided stainless lines for the 4-piston setup you dont need to worry about it.
its a very straight forward install. the above only applies to S5 cars
Also they did not have a GXL in 91
