[Shotimes] Gen1 & Gen2 Rear-Brakes(Larger or Smaller)

[Ron Porter]

Basically installing the '96 front rotor on the rear, IIRC using either the
'96 caliper, or the '89-'93 (???) caliper??
I slept through class those days, as I wasn't interested, but the
information may be on the V8 SHO site, and/or the SHOtimes FAQ. This was a
big topic of discussion on these lists maybe 6 months ago.....more so on the
Tech SHO list, I believe.

I believe that Glen Murdock started when he didn't like the look of the tiny
rear brakes through his aftermarket wheels, and since he put Cora brakes on
the front of his '97, he had these '97 front brakes left over......

Hello Ron,

What is the 96' Big Brake upgrade for the Rear?  I was
only aware of a 96 upgrade for the fronts.. :)  I
would love to know.  Thanks.
