Which Calipers Do I Have?
Im in the middle of a disc swap and I have a few questions
I got the rear from a local member but he did not know anything about it, how can I tell if it has the performance options?
The calipers I got are off a 88 formula and they need to be rebuilt how can I tell which kit to get? Same with the pads there is a performance and not performance.

Re: Which Calipers Do I Have?
If you're rebuilding the existing equipment, find a competentcounter-man at one of the better parts houses. And O'reilly's, NAPA,
Car-Quest, will have a better selection of upgrades than the likes of
Auto-Zone, Pep-Boys, etc. (And beware, there will still be chuckle-heads
at the better houses.) Then take your existing parts along. "I want to
rebuild/replace these." The counter-man competency can help you
determine the performance options most suitable for you.
Good luck,
kk
