97 L single pot to 2 pot upgrade

[Regardie]

I just had to replace my brakes and rotors on my 97 L with the 14' steel rims. I also pulled from a yard a set of 2 pot front calipers and brackets. Will the 2 pot caliper fit on my smaller rotor with the 1 pot bracket, or will I have to upgrade my wheels to make it fit?

Thanks,

Regardie

You'll have to use the rotor for 2-pots. Also, the 2 pots need 15"+ wheels (with few exceptions).

Once you have the new brakes installed, consider putting the rear brake setup from a car with 2pots OR from a wagon because those got a larger rear piston (rotor stays the same) and it brings your brake system back in balance.

I was thinking that was the case. Good tip about the rear brakes as well.

No problem. The 2 piston fronts is a huge upgrade in feel and performance over the 1-pot front. Don't forget to upgrade your tires if they need it - to be able to take advantage of your new sweet brakes!
