can i swap from rear 1LE calipers to rear regular calipers?? i heard i can and i can't. i heard the rotors were different, not making it possible for me to swap. if this is the case i have to get another 1LE caliper. 1 1LE caliper is the same as 2 regular calipers, so i'll be spending the same amount of $$$. thanks guys, your help is appreciated!

The rotors are different sizes, and as far as I know, they CANNOT be interchanged.

If you have the Stock 9-bolt rear it came with 11.655 dia rotors and Aluminum PBR calipers and are Not A 1LE RPO. Why change the Calipers??? Just for the cost???:eek:

They aren't 1LE, they're just the late-style (89+) aluminum PBR calipers. Unless it is an actual 1LE car, which is a bit unlikely.

Same rear brakes used on the 1LE cars, 11.655 rotors and PBR calipers. The fronts are the 12" rotors.
