help with rear brakes and diff swap.
Maybe some one can help.
I just bought a complete rear end, its borg warner 9 bolt, with disc brakes, alunimum calipers.
It came complete except for rotors and one caliper bracket, it was broken.
the guy said it was out of a 89 formula with the 5.7 tpi.
Car quest had the rotors for 17.76 a piece.
So heres my questions.
Will these fit in a 15in steel wheel? I have some black nascar style wheels.
Where can i get a the bracket.
Is is what is refered as a 1le brakes
Its it the pbr calipers?
Is this diff pretty strong? I got a manual trans and seem to burn rubber all the time.

Re: help with rear brakes and diff swap.
1.Far as I know the stock 15 inch wheels will fit
2.You can find the bracket on ebay, hawks and etc
3.1LE was the front brake setup which consists of a 12 inch rotor corvette style 2 piston aluminium calipers. The reason the 89+ rear-ends are considered 1LE is because the rotors size increased to 11 inches and it recieved aluminium PBR calipers as well. Which would have matched the front setup if you had a 1LE car.
4.It is considered to be a heavy duty rear end..
