thank you very much!

so all earlier models like the box caprices outta the 80s n stuff also
just had drumms, correct?

thanks man

 

[jayoldschool]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you...

Yes, all the earlier ones were drum rear only. Two different sizes of drums, regular and heavy duty.

so can 14's can fit on the rear disc set up with no problem... planning on putting a rear disc set up on my 94 fleetwood

more clamping force than drums... some people dont like messing with the springs on drum brakes..

 

[mike cadillac]

easier to maintain and like bigeazy said.... more clamping force... so i can stop on a dime

Im just mad cuz I gotta B4U, and although it has LT1 and G80, I wish I had rear disc (dont know code, lol)

 

[jayoldschool]

The B4U cars are great! The best option to have on a Caprice - all the heavy duty stuff, and the best suspension. If I were to buy a Caprice, I would hold out for a B4U...

how do u find out if a car has these options?

 

[jayoldschool]

Pop the trunk, look at the SPID sticker on the right side of the bottom of the trunk. Write down all the codes, then check them out HERE

When you look at lots of cars you will remember the obvious ones... LT1, L99, G80, etc...

i got 2 rearends on ebay for 80 discs and all lucky for me it was a few miles away :biggrin:

thats what I am waiting to hear for my 95 :angry: can we or no

 

[Huggies]

I believe rear disc was an option for 94-96 9C1... as well as for the LT1 and posi...

WX3 all had it... but the WX3 diff is slightly larger than one of a 9C1... few mm only...

No... the disc rear is part of the 9C1 package. You are correct about the engine and rear end. LT1 and G80 were both options.
