Default S-10 calipers

Does any know the part # for the S-10 calipers that have the Bango bolt on the inside instead of the top so that I can run a deeper dish wheel. Has anyone done this and know what all is involved my goal is to run a 15'' wheel on the rear for track use ive been runnin a 28'' slick and need something a little taller.

You still need to grind on the s10 calipers I believe, it just gives more clearance on the fitting.

I looked into this and bought calipers for a 2002 S10. Still needs a ton of grinding and piston is smaller. Im going to return them and go drum brakes.

So you can convert from disc to drum?

Mechanicaly but not sure yet what the abs and computer are going to do. I got the complete rear brakes and lines from a 2006 truck.

Man that seems like it would be a lot more headache. Do you know the part no. for the 02 s 10 calipers and is the bango bolt on the back instead of the top? Thanks for the info.

Yea but I need good holding power to spool my turbo. Not sure about the bolt but the inlet is definitely in a different position. Have to check pt # when I get back to the shop.

Drums are more rotating mass. that may outweigh the benefits of taller sidewalls.
Personally I'd look into smaller diameter rotors and moving the calipers closer to the axle centerline.
