| I wouldnt do that, the 88 rear discs were problematic - the emerg brake design was bad. They are weaker rear ends being 7.5" dia ring gear . you could easily adapt the ls1 rear f-body brakes or even the ls1 rear braked - its a better design without the self adjusting caliper pistons like the 88. but you will need to check wheel clearance on the newer larger rear discs. oh and if the 88 rear is the "9 bolt" diff the brakes wont bolt up - the pattern is different. hope this helps |
