      Mmm, new hoes! Gotta say I never really bought one, but I always end up paying for them one way or another... LOL

      OP, the part for the calipers is called a caliper bracket, spindle bracket, caliper bridge - stuff like that. Reman calipers from the stor will often come with it, but there is a core charge for it. Actually there is core charge for the calipers as well. If you're eventually going to get the stuff new, might wanna compare what the cores will run with what the yard will charge you for them - sometimes it's actually cheaper to just eat the core charge.

          Yes, there is that option as well. Definitely a good one too, the deals one can sometimes find there are downright riddiculous.

            Check oreillys and they have the brake caliper and bracket for $47 doesn't say anything about a core cost guess I will be getting that. I was looking at the hubs and there's 2 different ones. One is from master pro and one is from precision. What's the difference from the 2 companies

              probably the sticker. Get the one with the longer warranty.

                Never heard of either. Better warranty wins when information lacks.

                  you can use an abs or non abs hub. Get whatever is cheaper between the two types.

                    Right, in this application the hub only carries the wheel, from a functionality standpoint it matters not whether it has the exciter ring for an ABS sensor or not - so yes, do check out prices on both types, and grab hatever's cheaper. It may very well be the ABS hub is cheaper, I've ran into this before and the owner chose to run the ABS hubs even tho the vehicle does not have ABS, works just fine.

                      It can actually be difficult finding non-ABS hubs. I think my car has one of each on it.

                        Which is odd, considering most cars in junkyards seem to be of the non-ABS variety, at least from what I've seen.

                          Didn't have time to get the spindle at the junkyard this week but I was looking for rims I originally I wanted the 03-04 marauder for the 88mgm. But after looking at the prices I think Ima get the pi cv form a 06 I think they are 17x 7.5 I think they would fit any tire size recommendations.

                            Gonna need spacers for anything '03 and newer, the offset is different and they'll sit way inboard when installed on your car.

                              yeah, offset not even close to right on those. 98-02 are a direct swap, and some rims as far back as the mid 90s are 16".
