yup. need some. as i posted a while back my front passenger caliper was stuck . it was worked on and now i need new pads. any suggestions???

if its a gsl-se stock pads are great, low dust and they are good aout not fading, they survived a track day just fine.

if its a 12a the stock pads squeak and make all kinds of wierd noises and they fade too

I find my stock 12a pads work great but I need a LSD with rear discs one day. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

My 12a pads a quite and always have been.I might upgrade my pads on it one day.Too many other places to spend $$$ on.Like some autometer guages on the A-pillar. :yum: I will have a pair by summer.....oh yes indeed

how hard is it to covert rear drums on an 83 to discs?

j9fd3s 01-17-2003 11:00 AM

its not bad, the easiest way is to get the whole rear end, disc to disc, and the e brake cables

Yeah mike is right.If you want the non-SE pattern in the rear still just look for a GSL rear from 81-85 they all have discs and LSD in them.You can buy a set of rustang I mean mustang wheels :redface: and slap them on if you find a nice set of 4 bolt stang wheels. :bigthumg:
