I have a 1990 GXL. 5 bolt rims... "heavy duy" ASA suspension.
I think that after 1990, they are all like this though.
Anyways, I need a rear drivers side brake caliper... I've seen a few in the classifieds, for S4 TII's and such, no S5 N/A's.
What will fit?? S4 TII brakes? etc... (Also, if anyone has one, PM me please!!! I need....)

i was under the impression that they are the same on both s5 and s4 only the s5 and turbos have vented instead of solid rotors, same calipers tho.

No, all five lug cars have vented rotors including the S4's.

calipers would be the same between a 5lug tII and 5lug n/a (for the rear, at least)

Parking brake lever seal was leaking like crazy....tried to replace, the shaft and nut wree frozen, I snapped it, there is no way I am going to try and repair it when I can get used caliper on here for 30 bucks. It would be a pretty involved job.

Thanks for the info!
So far, only found one guy in Calif that has a caliper! I'll try posting in the Canadian forum..
I'm in Windsor, Ont.. so Michigan would be good too...

Might want to try a rebuild kit. They are not that pricey. Also, try autozone or advance auto . They might be resonable. I bought rebuilt rear calipers for my 86 base at advance.

Not sure about rears, but I got rebuilt front calipers for $33 each for my fronts, 4pot too (without core charge, since they knew me)
