Having read about the front brake upgrade for my '89 740 GL Wagon (w/o ABS), I was able to find a 90 740 Turbo sedan with antilock brakes in a boneyard near me. Before it met it's end, the owner had replaced the ventilated front rotors with new ones. I got those as well as the bracket that the caliper slides in. Did I get all the right stuff for the upgrade so I can have the bigger rotors and use my existing calipers? Also, I would like to do the same for my rear rotors. Can I use the rear rotors from that same sedan on my wagon? Will I be able to use my existing rear calipers? Thanks!
And by the way, having been a long time SAAB owner (currently own a 76 '99) driving my first Volvo, it's cool to see such a large and helpful support group on this board!
