So got a around to swapping out my neon rears for my new saturn rears. Ended up powder coating the caliper brackets that hold the pads, the cable bracket and the rotors. I was going to do the calipers too but i didn't have a set of c-clip pliers long enough to get the one c- clip out of the caliper to take them apart.. o well on to the pics.
And to help anyone out the banjo bolt for the saturn rears is a 10mm x1.50
The adapters being 1/2" didn't push out the wheels far enough for me, but will hold me off till winter then im going to re do the whole car, new paint, new quarter panels, re powder coat everything ect..
after
I am guessing you did not like the neon brakes? Also... Are the Saturn brakes better?
I liked the neons but didnt like shoes for an ebrake i like the saturns for being all in one. I just drove the car home really didn't feel a difference yet, but the ebrake feels softer but its holding the car great which is a must on my drive way because its on a big slope.
Point taken. I forgot about the e-brake shoes on the neon setup. Last question... is that your stock e-brake cable? I am still learning all that is needed for the swap. I know you need the calipers, caliper brackets, pads, re-drilled rotors, caliper hardware, Club Jeffie Rear Disc Brackets, and more brake fluid, lol.
Yea its my stock cable its just brand new. i also trimmed the end loop off when i did the neon swap.
very nice man im glad im getting this set-up, what offset is your rims may i ask?

Pics of the setup behind your rims?
I'll get some more pic's tomorrow. But i have be beating the hell out of the car this past week and the brakes been holding up great. The e brake holds great. The one thing i have noticed is it seems these rears don't "brake" as much as my neon's did, it feels like the front is braking more then before but it could just be me.
you can kinda see my rear brakes in this pic of my car in my shop.
Always loved you car man, but I'm a little bias. lol
