So I have to replace at least one front rotor on my 89 lx so I thought why not upgrade to gt brakes while I'm down there. The problem is I can't find any information on whats required.
Has anyone done this before or knows what all would be required?
I dont want to do a 5lug swap I just want to know if and how I can put the bigger 5.0 brake calipers and rotors on.

You probably need the 5.0 spindles to do the rotors and calipers. I've been told the 5.0 and 2.3 spindles are different. Got that info in researching my 5 lug swap.
