Brake mod question

[Area51]

Nobody in my area will modify the calipers to allow the 100 series pads to fit,
since they're all worried about "safety issues", so my question is will the entire
caliper assembly from a 100 fit on a '93 with no problems or is there going to
be a lot more involved to do this than I am aware of? thanks

I'm not an expert, and I think you should do more searching on this issue. I think that people run 100 series brake pads on their 80's. I don't think there is any "modifications" to the brake calipiers, except people don't run the shims with them. I know that when people do this, they start with new brake rotors because the 80 series pads wear different than the 100 series pads. Just my little bits of info that I learned from this forum, hopefully others will chime in who have actually done this.

You do not need to do anything to the 80 series caliper in order to fit the 100 series pads.

To the 93-97 80 series calipers. 91-92 is a no-go.

91-92 is a no-go.

Funny that I am running them on my '90 You need to modify the pad not the caliper, but they do fit...
