Geometry change is negligeable.
My parts car was running/driving/stopping, so I know all the brake parts are good.
...could always use spindles from JY and use calipers/rotors as cores for new/reman parts store purchases.
Brakes scare lots of people, but if you understand what they do/how they work, they are MUCH less intimidating. Brakes and suspension was my specialty "back in the day", partially because no one else wanted to do them.
Went to regional Plymouth Troubleshooting finals in 85 (third place) (and fastest parts identifier on record at that time).
Was ASE certified until 89.
Didn't like where the technology was going and got tired of being dirty all the time, so made a carrer change to electrical work then general building maint, and finally IT.
Work got smaller and/or cleaner every time
...and you have just as much of a chance of brand new parts failing/being defective as JY parts.
Put the car on stands for testing (then "yard drive"), and make sure the calipers aren't stuck/sticking or leaking, and the rotors are thick and not grooved too bad.
The local U-pull gets $75 for everything except m/c (which I WOULD get new {althouggh I have rebuilt them}), and I'll keep the $850 difference to use elsewhere, 'cause my pockets aint that deep.
I know Ehrenburg is against it, and he is SAE, but I can't ignore all those who have done it and haven't had any problems. Ehrenburg also wants you to locate and use parts from three different systems, some of which are extremely difficult to find. ****? Again, the complete system on the 5th Ave worked as is, and on a heavier car.
