I know the rear 300TD wheel calipers are a much higher price than the ones for the 300D. is it because they have more clamping force because the TD may haul more weight?

would there be an advantage to installing them on a 300D?

Congrats on the 300,000th post!


As for your question, have you heard about the 1980's GM X-body cars?

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

No I don't think they'll fit, but the '80s GM X-bodies had the tendency to lock the rear wheels up in a panic situation to where it will make the car spin out of control.


hahahah! Great job in rigging the count. Although it did take two tries!

I didn` think about locking up the back end, they must have a proportioning valve on the TD`s. I know my Datsun PU has one. I had never heard about the GM cars doing that. maybe that is why we don`t see many of those cars around.
