i just bought a rear 89+ PBR brake setup.. but i don't have it yet. and im wondering, is there a difference in like 9 bolt and 10 bolt setups?? or any other differences that might screw me up?? i forgot to ask what it came off...

 

FYI, that pick is of the older rear disc setup, not the PBR ones.

I think there are some threads in the archives on this and I *think* you can modify the axle tube flanges on the 9 bolt to accept the PBR brake caliper mounting brackets.... Not sure though...

 

AHH how so??? if i bought those and they AREN"T the rights ones....

 

Look at the pads.... Dead giveaway right there, those are the same pads that the stock non-1LE front brakes use which is what the older rear discs utilized as well..... I would get a hold of the seller at once and verify if that is the pic.....

 

ya i emailed him.. And i looked at some other pictures of the 89+ rear brakes, and i saw the differences... oh well i thought $150 was a little too cheap!!

thanks for catching that for me!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, definitely not the PBRs... you got hosed!!!!

FYI, the PBR calipers themselves are aluminum and have fins on them; and they float inside a bracket/carrier thing. The backing plates are much smaller than those in the pic.

 

Yeah, you almost got screwed there. I've seen a lot of people selling those setups on ebay and saying they're "1LE" and 89-up, which they are not.

If anyone needs to see what the PBRs /1LEs look like, check out my rebuild page here:

This is how a "real" 89 up set up looks like!
"REAL" : cause this is a Baer setup!
A bit higher in price but new and no need to run around hunting for parts .......!

If it's a Baer setup then it's aftermarket, so how can it be a "REAL" 89 up setup?
