Quick question:

Can 89-91 1 piston brake calipers be used on a 91 that originally came thru with 4 piston?

Is the bolt pattern width of 6.25in the same as that of the 1-piston caliper?

Thanks!

thanks for more info...

is the proportioning valve the nozzle that feeds the brake line into the caliper?

the config is 4 pot up front, single in the rear.

Not sure what came on the GTU... i think that was considered the base model in canada between 89-91 so it might only have the single piston front caliper.
