I have a 89 lx. I ordered calipers for a 86 svo, braided front lines, and matching ceramic pads. Where can I find a braided line for the rear? I don't plan to put disc brakes on the rear. There are two 93 cobra mc's listed at Advance auto parts, Raybestos MC390125 MC Assembly pg plus w/ power brakes @ $98.99 and Bendix 12669 1" four wheel disc brakes @ $66.96 which do I need? I understand that I also need a mc conversion kit, what is in it, where to buy it, and do I need anything else? Also, what are steel side pin bushings and do they come on the calipers w/ steel piston? What rotors do I need to buy? Looking for drilled and slotted, but need to know if I can order for an 89 or do they have to be for a 86? Are they the same? Thanks.

No, you'll have to order those from www.maximummotorsports.com

Did you convert to 5-lug? If you have 4-lug wheels still just get rotors for 87-93.

Fox brakes suck and you really should stick with a solid rotor, not anything crossdrilled or slotted. Removing mass from the rotor just makes it way more prone to warping. I know a lot of guys do it for looks...especially in thin spoked wheels, but when it comes to fox rotors, they already suck.

Stayed with the 4-lugs. I changed my mind and ordered the mc from a 94 gt from advance auto parts and the conversion kit from maximummotorsports. Advance had the ceramic pads listed, but then showed them as not carried when I ordered. Anyone know where to find ceramic pads?
