Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Couple of questions for you Captain. Are the rotors from the front or rear? And what will we find the GM "D52" calipers on?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I believe these are D52 calipers? With these calipers and rotors off of the astro van they will work with 15" Wheels won't they?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
As N2TRUX posted, the D52 calipers are found on the front of most full sized cars as well as the C10 and C20 trucks from '71-'87. The rotors are front rotors since the Astro vans didn't come with 4 wheel discs. At least that I know of. The application for rotor that I used was 1992-2002 AWD Astro/Safari van

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Yes, you have to run a proportioning valve of some sort. Some guys run the disc/drum proportioning valve with an adjustable on the rear line. Others run just a disc/disc proportioning valve.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Were there any GM vehicles made that used a D52 style caliper on a rear disc brake with a drum style parking brake inside the rotor?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I haven't bought the Eldorado calipers myself, but I have read that they don't come with the arms for the e-brake. Some guys have made their own using the correct size wrench. If you get a set of the Eldorado calipers and they don't come with the arms, and you can't get the issue solved, let me know and I'll get you taken care of.
BTW, your brackets shipped today. You should see them Saturday or Monday at the latest. Thanks again. Quote:

You can use the stock GM D52, or several aftermarket calipers that are designed to be a replacement for them. As mentioned Wilwood makes one with two different piston sizes. Search Google for D52 caliper applications to get a more complete listing.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Looks sick with the Wilwood calipers. Another top notch product! Great work Captain!
