96 Brake upgrade
I am getting a little ahead of myself since I don't even have my motor back in yet but. I found a 2000 V-6 that is being parted out. He is selling stuff dirt cheap. Anyone know what all parts I would need to upgrade my brakes? 2000 V-6 the same brakes as the V-8?
Any one know of a write up by someone who has done it? I may not get the rear brakes cause I want a posi with disks. Although I am temped cause I think I could get the rear from this guy for 50 bucks.

Sure. Either PM someone, or you might try posting your question in the 3rd Gen section, where I'm sure you'd get alot more help.
