93's have different front brakes than 94-97?

So I am looking to replace my front pads, and was settled on the Hawk HPS+ So I go to pep boys and get the model number for the ones for 94-97, same on tire-rack.

Then, I go to Jegs and they have a seperate model number for 93's.


So to the guys that did breaks on 93's, which pads/model numbers did you use? From the 93 list post, it said that front breaks were slightly smaller, so if true......can i put in bigger rotors of 94-97, and how big, and can i use 94+ break pads on 93 calipers?

They require different front pads for a 93, rotors are the same as a 94+. Its the shape of the caliper that makes the pads different from 94+

Hawk Part #

90-HB129F681

Thats from Thunder Racings site, they retail for 52.

Rotors interchange for the 93 and the 94+....however I was under the impression that the calipers and pads were year specific...I've since changed to newer brakes and don't run the brake items anymore.

Ok, thats what I thought, what about the HP+ ones.

Same number just with the n in the middle like other hawk products?

Yep, calipers/pads are deffinetely different on the 93s... I would imagine Hawk should have a 93 specific pad.
