Springdale, Arkansas
There are no appropriate cars in the junk yards around here. Everything has been crushed when the price of metal went up.
Need rear brake setup for SLH1 or SLH2.
Will need 220mm rear brake backing plates if SLH1 along with the parts that can't be bought new, like the arm that connects to the emergency brake cable and the self-adjuster hardware. I think that I can buy the rest of the necessary parts but if you've done this please chime in.
For SLH2 I will need the complete rear disc brake setup and the proportioning valve. I want the parking brake setup with the brake shoes inside of the rotor. I had a 90 LeBaron with rear discs on hold at a salvage yard and was going to swap everything over to my Horizon but the salvage yard crushed it by mistake. "Whoops"
I have 1986 GLH knuckles for the front along with:
89 Caravan 60 mm KH calipers
steel braided brake lines
KYB GR2 struts
blasted springs primed and painted
new strut mounts
control arms blasted and painted with new ball joints and bushings pressed in
new bushings for the rear stub on the control arms
For the rear I have KYB GR2 shocks with springs blasted and painted.
I have a set of 5x100 14" steel rims with 185/60R-14s waiting for the Horizon because I have bought 3 sets of 15" rims for the 3 other daily drivers below and I have lots of 14" rims and tires available.
This is for a daily driver that takes me 15 miles out to work and 15 miles back 4x a week over heavily patrolled roads at 40 to 50 mph and takes the kids to bb, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, choir and band activities. NO SPEEDING or any racing activity whatsoever.
I did love the handling improvement in our 91 Caravan when I added Caravan Sport struts, larger front anti sway bar, and rear anti sway bar, 15" rims and lower profile tires. I have appreciated the handling of Fiats and a 67 Corvair I've owned, and a friends 911T. What would be the biggest bang for the buck handling improvement that I can do while this 89 Horizon is up on the jack stands?
