Does anyone know the size and number of pistons on the rear brakes of a Lightning. I am considdering building a brake caliper swap.

Andy, given your experience building cars... how much do you think an improved rear caliper would help our fade problem??

Thanks...

 

Not realy shure how much it would help but I own a new pair of Nisson 300zx front 4 piston claipers that would look great back there. How does the abs pick up rear wheel speed? I don't see reluctor rings.

 

I believe the rears are just single piston Expedition units. Four piston unitd would help the fade a little. Ditch the rubber lines and install some four pistons up front would help more. Install a bias valve to equal out the brakes.

It's a 3-sensor system... Somewhere I read the rear sensor is in the rear axle. I dont know if that means in the diff or where. Anyone got a service manual handy?
