For those who can't find 1988 brake calipers.
-
Those are the calipers I have on the front of my gray car.
They work well, but the OEM (?) pads produce a great deal of dust. I would be tempted to install Raybestos or Wagners, if you've got the additional coin.
(I had Thermoquiets on my G6, and THEY dusted really badly, too, so I'm not going to recommend them above others.)
-
More dust, more stop?
-
The funny thing about brakes is something has to wear..... soft pads will wear faster and let the rotors last longer, hard pads will last longer but eat up rotors. ....... and for the record I will never use Raybestos pads again
-
Pads are easier to replace.
I tried ceramics. Not a fan.
-
What happened with the Raybestos? I've used them before and don't remember a problem.
-
Now made from the finest Chinesium available........ had a set are the orange car, very noisy and did not stop the car, also have a set on the Expedition that are also noisy
-
Has any research been done to see if any other car's calipers can be used to replace 88 Fiero calipers?
-
Not specifically. As a matter of fact, there are at least two different "upgrades" for the 88 that support larger disks, but still retain the Fiero calipers and pads.
Other calipers have been used on Fieros, but they require different brackets, and sifting through all the "folklore" to figure out exactly what calipers work with which rotors, and whether you have to pat your head and/or rub your tummy to make them work fit.
Edited.

Video or it didnt happen
-
I can do those at the same time but prefer to have both hands on the steering wheel when braking.

I'll always brag about how good the CarboMets from The Fiero Store are!
