bakerman1 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I have an 84 Brat and am doing the disk brake conversion in the rear. I'm heading down to the local salvage yard and need to know what years are the right cars to look at. I know I have to find turbo models cause that is what had the disk brakes, but need to know what years will work. Thanks for you answers.

MilesFox Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 any disc brake will work. you can swap min ea82 drums too, at least they are bigger you can also esilt modify a whole ea82 trailing arm to the brat, for example if a bearing was bad, and ea82s are more available 2wd discs will not fit a 4wd altogether, but the ROTORS and CALIPERS will fit the same. the hub is different, but unboltable from the rotor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardgabe Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Any year ea81 or ea82 turbo will work as long as it is the 4 bolt lug pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 ea81 turbo cars have drum brakes unless converted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardgabe Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah but I am sure he knows the difference between drum breaks and discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
