HI Saab enthusiasts,
The Saab is unofficially stored and although I am still deciding on exactly what mods to perform on the car a couple of things are for sure: It is getting 17s (a spoke design), vented rotors, and painted calipers.
Speaking more specifically of the latter, should I go ahead with the 9000 caliper/brake upgrade?
The '91 SPG brakes great!! So why the possible switch? For one it will brake better and secondly I have read that the brake pads are 33% larger, wouldn't this have to imply that the actual caliper itself is 33% larger?
Because of the rims I will be using the front caliper will be much more pronounced lending a more racy look... Plus I can powder coat them now making the installation that much more smoothly this spring.
I am under the assumption that the rear calipers are identitical?
Are there any 9000 models/years in particular that have better calipers/brakes?
Your input is all well received!
Thanks,
rob (1991SPG)
