What's needed to upgrade to Turbo Brakes?
I am just wondering what is needed to upgrade to Turbo Brakes.
From what I can gather, the rear calipers will bolt right on but the fronts require Turbo spindles. I'm wondering, if I am able to get the Turbo Spindles (for my '88 n/a) can I use my existing hubs and what about the struts? I know that the Turbo rotors are larger and require 16" wheels. If anyone knows all the details, I'd appreciate a simple list of what I need. Thanks..........................Vern |

Late offset 951 spindles is really all thats needed. Hubs and struts can be mixed and matched. You are correct that the rear turbo brakes are direct bolt on. All thats needed in the back are some 1/2 inch spacer washers which you can readily pick up at your local hardware store.
You must run 16'' wheels with the turbo brakes. Not because of the rotors, but because the calipers dont fit.

Thanks. That helps.
Do you know about the rears? And, if all I can afford at the moment is calipers and spindles, can I use the Turbo calipers on non-turbo rotors? I always seem to waste money and I just put new rotors on my n/a. I may wait until they wear out but I probably will get impatient and do it sooner rather than later. In the meantime.....Arn't they Pretty?
