    89 caravan brake pads

    I'm trying to find some better pads for my van and no one lists anything other than crap budget pads, are there any other options?

    There are more options if you use the 91 or newer front spindle. They bolt on but would require the calipers and an alignment.

    I have hawk hps and lts pads for the newer stuff.

    Re: 89 caravan brake pads

    Id like to do that and have 2 sets of R/T knuckles but no good wheel bearings. Right now I dont have the money for wheel bearings, calipers, rotors, and pads. My current rotors are within spec for turning (free at work) and I was hoping to spend around 50 bucks on some decent pads.

    maybe Ill have to get crap budget pads and then get the 11" stuff together.


    on a side note what are the edge code friction ratings of the hps and lts pads? ie. EE EF FF FG or GG?

    I did a search at Summit Racing and got back a Powerstop pad that says it's a performance part.

    I got oldskool rivetted pads last time, it's ventilation/pressure relief and they work great...
