89 gts rear brakes, will they work/ Options

[25thcelica]

i found a near perfect 89 gts in the junk yard and it has rear disc brakes. the are 5x100 and I was just wondering if I could use these to do a swap on my 6 gen.







Thanks in advance

In all likelyhood with a shared 5/100 hub setup, you could swap the backing plate (which holds the caliper bracket and e-brake assembly) using your current hub. Rotor would definately fit onto your existing hub, though I don't know about how your wheels would appreciate the new configuration.

Also consider swapping the rear proportioning valve.

I read somewhere the proportioning valves are the same. The difference is the brake lines, in which the drums used metal lines and the discs used rubber. Also, I don't reccomend getting the assembly in "parts". It'll just cause a massive headache. Be sure to get the entire spindle complete. Don't buy it in parts.
