4th Gen brake questions
I found all kinds of information about ls1 brake swaps, but my questions dont concern them. i have a 94 v6 full car.
1. Can I swap the front brakes and what not to my 89 firebird?
2. If so is it worth it?
Probably stupid questions but figured i would ask since i couldnt find any information concerning them. thanks
oh and from what I can find out an 02' v6 with rear disc is the same setup as a 02' LS1 can anyone else confirm that?

Re: 4th Gen brake questions
forget about the 93-97 brakes... they aren't good enough to even screw around with..
and, yes, all 98-02 cars had the same brakes regardless of which engine was in it, and these are the brakes you want... the rears could be either drums or discs depending on which suspension and drivetrain options it had, but they used the same parts on the V6 cars as the V8 cars.

Re: 4th Gen brake questions
ok thanks thats good to know. I thought I seen something abt them having aluminum front calipers but it said 89-96 i think, neither my 89 or 91 have aluminum calipers tho so idk the accuracy of that.
Thanks for the info on my 02 rear
