I am going to upgrade my brakes to the cobra 13" kit. My friend wants to buy my stock calipers. He has a 97 that only has a 1 piston caliper. He wants my stock 2 piston calipers. Is this a direct swap...or does he need to change anything, like the proportioning valve? And if so, how hard is this? Thanks.

With 94-95 spindles you need to clearance the spindle slightly. On 96+ cars, it's a direct bolt on. He'll need your hoses as well.

No real need to change prop valve or anything. I've heard of guys doing the exact same swap with no problems. You are increasing the front braking power so your fronts will alwayts lock before your rears. If he has ABS on his car, it will do all the compensating for him.
