TopSecret1 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I have a 1995 TT with N/A brakes. Friend has 1996 N/A with TT brakes (his is the SZ-R model). He is building it as a drag car, and said for slicks the N/A brakes will be better. So I can get a hell of a good deal doing a trade! my question is can I do a straight swap by putting my N/A brakes on his car, and then putting his TT brakes on my car. I am talking about the whole setup with rotor, disc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMPEROR Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yes, it's a straight swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Stone guards are different between the two models. You can swap them over, fronts are easy, rears, not so much due to the park brake. Most simply do a bit of a trimming job on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 as said the n/a brake guards will need to be modified you can get away with bending the edges flat but may have to put a couple of cuts in to let the metal take shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopSecret1 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Do I really need the guards though? isn't that the piece that wraps around the disc? it looks ugly and rusted. I was thinking of getting some brand new discs/rotors. for example something like this, very clean!! http://www.fizzautosports.com/js300/gallery/sema2006/IMG_0761.JPG Edited October 21, 2011 by TopSecret1 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopSecret1 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 and wouldn't I be able to swap the "guards" between both the cars as well? or no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If reading is a bit of a challenge then perhaps the brake swap should be left to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Or you could just bend the guard out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
