So I feel like I heard about this here but I couldn't find anything in a quick search.
Last night I helped a buddy do a rear axle brake overhaul. SS Flex Lines, rotors, pads, bearings, and calipers.
His calipers were toast so I had him order up some 110 calipers and pads from the UK.
The biggest difference between the 110 calipers and stock D1 calipers is the pad mounting. On the D1 you have these cheesy spring clips held in place by cotter pins. The issue is the calipers get worn and the pads get all cattywampus. Even "new" remanned calipers can have this problem.
The 110 rear calipers utilize stout pins(like the D1 front) that runs through the caliper AND the pads. This keeps the pads located much more securely.
I only found one issue. Using stock D1 calipers the mud shield bracket mounts between the caliper and bolt head. Using the 110 calipers the mud shield mounts between the caliper and axle bracket. This provides the correct spacing to center the caliper/pads on the rotor.
Parts used:
STC1269 Caliper Drivers Side
STC1268 Caliper Passenger Side
STC1601 Pads
STC8576 Hardware kit
LR018026 D110 rear rotors should be used. We used stock D1 rear rotors wit h the mud shield bracket as a spacer between the caliper and axle bracket. Live and learn.
