rear susp and brake options

well recently i broke an axel so i bought a 4 bolt rear end and some agx's w/springs

im wondering what some decent upgrades for either suspension or brakes would be. i think ill switch out the spring for eibach pros

any advice for upgrades would be much appreciated, im trying to keep budget down but i do have a bit to work with

If you have the money k-sport coil overs are well worth the money. I love mine

Re: rear susp and brake options

as for brakes if you want to keep it cheap if you have the single piston caliper you can get the 2 piston calipers otherwise there are a bunch of big brake kits out there as well

Re: rear susp and brake options

im thinking to keep it cheap, are the 2 pisons just for the front, or are there rears? and what years carry the 2 pistons

I think they start in 92 and i'm pretty sure they are on all 4 corners but don't quote me on that

Backs were always single, just the fronts had two.
I'd go with the DSM big brakes, I decided to halt my big brake conversion for now and see how the stockers are once they're bled and without ABS. I have porterfield r4s pads and powerslots around, plus SS lines.

I wouldn't worry much about upgrading the rear brakes, at least don't upgrade them without doing something to the fronts too. Maybe slap a new set of decent pads on them, and make sure they're working good still.
