If you have a GSL-SE, you should have disc brakes on all corners.

if you do swap to rear disks, make sure you use the correct proportioning valve as well

Yeah the gsl-se came with disk all around. but theres one that came with 10 inch disk brakes in the rear and that came off of a 85 gsl-se. if u get that one it will do u good. as for the front u came upgrade to fc four piston calipers.

Anybody have more detail on the 4 piston caliper swap? - Do the calipers work with the GSL-SE brackets/rotors?
Thanks,
Robin
