n/a brake fit on turbo

Post by pw422 »

Just want to find out if n/a brakes would fit on my 91 ss. I assume it would fit but they are not as good as the ss brakes. Reason being I have a n/a parts car and my ss needs new brakes all around and I am broke to buy new ones.

Very bad idea.

The front rotors will be smaller. You'd have to swap calipers and all.

N/A rears are solid instead of vented. You'd also have to swap calipers and all.

Bite the bullet and buy new turbo rotors and pads.

yeah can you not just buy some cheap pads all around?

Unless you've let it go so that the rotors are all gouged up by the backing plates, I see no benefit in taking the brakes off some parts car that's been sitting around and probably has crappy brakes anyway.

I suppose you could then sell the turbo rear calipers for a good amount on nasioc or something.
