Hi all! I am contemplating a brake rotor upgrade on my '86 740 wagon. Presently the car has non-abs bendix calipers and 10.25" rotors. I have a complete strut and brake assembly from a '91 940 with abs bendix calipers and 11.25" rotors. My question is: can the 940 struts with the larger brakes be exchanged with the 740 struts using the non-abs calipers on the abs caliper mounts? I figure that the wheels would have to be upgraded to a 15" diameter, but that is no problem. Has anyone done the above swap or make a recommendation? Thanks for any help you can provide!!!!
