rear disc conversion for corsica?

[tranceokido]

Would it be an easy swap for disc brakes for the rear of a 93 corsica? Maybe from the Beretta GT or something? How would you go about connecting the ABS with this also?

[cypher_2001]

Run lines from your abs system to the rear, preferably steel braded, and change the drums to rotors, get a caliper assembly that will fit them. I'm sure some company makes some that will fit?

One thing you might consider also is getting a larger master cylinder for your new system.

Dunno. Just Ideas.....

Or maybe I am just an a$$ who doesn't know what he is talking about.....

the L body (berettas and corsicas) never, ever ever ever, came with rear disk brakes, switching to rear disk brakes with out first having really large front disks is pretty much pointless, it would be just for purely cosmetic reasons. If its a corsica, i'm pretty much betting its an automatic to, so all you could really do is drag race it anyway (see the adventures of taz), which you really don't need good brakes for anyway..........

large front rotors...I didn't think they were that big...but I guess for being a compact sedan they are a nice size. I have changed my mind though on swaping them out. I just had to mess with adjusting my rear brakes to get a stiffer pedal and less travel than what I had. Just felt like the rear brakes weren't auto adjusting like they should. But now the car stops pretty damn good. I should go do a 60-0 and measure it.

The J/L/N body brakes are quite small, they are just smaller than 10 inches, and the width is also quite small, so there isn't much mass there. Compared to a new neons brakes they are quite pathetic in size. Since this isn't going to be a race vehicle, you just want something to add a lil more zip to your stopping, just keep good brake pads on the car like performance friction pads, and instead of having the rotors cut, just get new rotors every time, since they are so cheap. If you want to waste some money get some SS brakelines from goodridge, you can get them off of tirerack.com, they will take alot of the compliance (mushy pedal feel) out of the braking system.
