danrenfroe2016 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 OK, Stupid question. I am making Franken brakes for the front of my newly lifted 80 brat. Using GEN 1 Knuckle - Gen 2 Rotor, Gen 2 Caliper and Gen 2 dust metal thing... OK DUMB question... In the Gen 2 calipers I received from subaru Heaven, There are very small metal bushings that were on the INNER Pad Tabs, WIth these small metal pieces, the new pad would not fit in the tab grooves, with out the small metal pieces the pad fit perfectly... So I guess these little pieces are NOT needed??????? See my pics below... http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/7879/cimg0181a.jpg http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1501/cimg0182.jpg http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8286/cimg0183.jpg http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5921/cimg0184z.jpg Ok, also is there any other problem with using the Gen 1 Knuckle with the Gen 2 rotor and caliper???? I cant see any other problems except for minor brake line work and such... And I allready have new Gen 1 Ball Joints... Thanks for the help... -Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danrenfroe2016 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Ok looks like it will work fine, I freak out to easily... Also apears that the stock gen 2 front hoses will work fine with the gen 1 lift. -daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danrenfroe2016 Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Confirmed... As i read other places on the boards... FRONT GEN 1 HUBS + Gen 2 Caliper, Gen 2 Disks and Gen 2 hoses work great on the Gen 1... Feels much better. -Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
