    11" brakes for 86 Laser?

    Okay I have 11" vented rear discs on my Laser and I need to upgrade the fronts as well so I'm not locking up the rears all over the place. What donor cars/vans will have bigger front brakes that I could swap onto my Laser with the stock front suspension? Hoping for some 11" brakes because running small front rotors and large rears seems like a dumb idea to me

    90 and older Shelby brakes or Minivan. Look for the caliper ears as part of the knuckle.

    +1, 89/90 Shelby Daytona, some 90 ES daytona's too, also Lebaron GTC's for the cars. I've seen them as early as 87 on the vans. You just have to swap out the hubs/rotors with a set from an 89+ car.

    Sounds good. I have seen 2 90 Daytonas with the big brakes but didn't need them at the time. Now that I need them, I wish I had pulled the parts! Time to check out some minivans I guess.

    You want Minivans with 15 inch wheels-stock and you'll need to get new hubs.
