question on rear brake rotors

before anyone says anything, i searched A LOT but havent found a straight answer on this. im interested in swapping to five lug. the front is no problem but i have a question on the rears, i know i can use a SN95 axles or have my stockers redrilled, but im unsure what to do about rotors, i know the stock ones can be redrilled and machined to fit the hub on the sn95 axles or just redrilled along with the stock axles. but could i just use SVO rear brake rotors or stock sn95 rotors? if not why?

You can use the axles from an LSC to go 5 lug. Not sure if they will match what you are putting up front as you did not say what thay are.

ill be using SVO rotors up front, i read that they will work with the stock calipers.
anyone else know if LSC stuff will work?

Yes the LSC brakes will work. The early, pre '92, are the same as the SVO. [Image: biggrin.gif]

awesome! so you didnt have to change your calipers?

Yes, you have to use the entire LSC setup, shafts, brackets, calipers and rotors. [Image: biggrin.gif]

You can use TC calipers with LSC rotors, they even use the same size pad. The LSC's calipers have a bigger piston for better braking though, and are actually cheaper to buy new ones at any NAPA.

well thats good news, so if i get LSC rotors i can reuse my orignal calipers and pads with no issue then correct? sorry to keep asking but i just dont want to run into a problem.

Can I use the turbocoupe calipers with SN95 rotors and axles? The reason I ask is that I have new TC calipers, brake lines and pads on the rear. I think all that was over $200 and I would like to use it.
