Rear discs on 2.6L V6?
« on: 20 July 2018, 12:00:16 »
I'm about to buy a 2.6L V6 Omega and the rear brakes are in need of replacement. On one of my current Omegas, a 3.2L with the vented rotors, I have good brakes. My thought is to move over the rear brakes from the old one to this new one.

My question is then if the vented rotors and calipers will fit on the 2.6L car? If I'm correct the only difference is the rotors and calipers and I am hoping that they will fit.

The old 3.2L will be taken apart and scraped. I will keep the usable stuff from it.


Thanks

Pretty sure 2.6 & 3.2  have identical brakes from the factory.  Both vented  & therefore interchangable   ;) ;)

If the 2.6 has solid discs fitted, then tread carefully... It will probably still have the vented calipers fitted...

There is a guide here to tell the calipers apart :y

I will take both the calipers and rotors from my donor car, both are just 2 years old. Aren't the vented calipers the same except the spacer to make them fit the wider rotors?
