Sir: It was mentioned before about carbon metallic front pads. Both calipers use the same brake pads. Auto Zone is discontinuing their "performance Friction" carbon metallic pads and are selling their stock for $21. Stock # 0052-20. They are $80 at O`Reillys. I could tell a noticeable difference when I put these on. When I added the rear carbon metallic shoes I had real brakes. This is where I got the rear shoes.

Jim,
If Mark is running steel wheels will he need to check and see if the 80mm
caliper bodies will clear the wheels after he grinds the lug off?

Just a reminder that there is a lug on the 80MM calipers that must be ground
away before installation to insure clearance between the caliper and the
back side of the wheel. Grind carefully, wear safety glasses, and git rid of
all the grinding residue before you install the calipers. That stuff will
raise holy ned with rotors & pads.

Rob, if we are talking about 16" steel wheels, the answer is yes. If 16.5,
the answer is maybe. If the rotors are worn, he might sneak by without
spacers and hub extenders.

I just put slotted & drilled rotors on the front of my Lesabre. First time I can activate the ABS on dry pavement. Ceramic pads. Stops better than new.

Well I bit the bullet and went to o reilly and got the 80MM brake calipers hoses pads and bolts. they had it all in stock. Much nicer then having to wait for the original equipment stuff. Got the left side on this morning Will let you know how it stops when i get the other side done. thanks for all the information.

Isn't there a casting knob or something that has to be ground off to clear the wheel?
