I forget the sizing but yes, bigger front for sure, and the back is either bigger, or just a better design. The parking brake cable was modified/welded until it broke, so it will be an issue. Have to swap to the 96 strut/hub, and I think the rears bolt on? I didn't do it, previous owner was road racing the car and had it setup with those brakes.
Ah ok. Let me know when you’ll be at one. Lately Ive been at most of the northeast lemons races driving for some VW guys. Had been running Hondas and BMWs in AER, but its fun to get back to lemons sometimes - especially when I dont have to work on the car
My version of the front brakes looks like this
Disc 300mm Opel Astra-J GM 13502051
Caliper 2-piston 45mm Opel Antara / Chevrolet Equinox GM 96625936 - left GM 96625937 - right
my version is on the left 1,5gen - on the right
Use stock 16inch Wheel
The mileage on this version is about 30,000 miles
System without abs, stock master cylinder
You'd want to swap the entire dropout. Engine, trans, wiring, and all.
I've read from those who have done it, that swapping the drivetrain from an H-body is considerably more difficult than from a W-body donor as all the engine mounts are different. Back when I was considering a swap like that, the person that did it strongly recommended I find a donor W-body.
