ive heard that the 12" corvette brake upgrade can only be done with the 88 cradle? Is this true? Id rather stick with the cradle i have, so whats the best brake upgrade i can do with the 87 cradle.

As far as I can tell up to 13" brakes can be done on a '84-'87. But I'm still learning the intricacies of the swap myself.

(12" seem to be fairly "easy": search for Bubbajoexxx. - I'm still trying to understand all the details of that thread.)

Things I don't know yet:
How to do a 13" brake swap on a budget. (say ~$500)
I also don't know if the stock spindles will hold up to bigger brakes.
Will the stock bearings hold up?
How will the brake lines be done? (where would I get SS line in the right lenght?)
Does the stock fiero MC (master cylinder) work? (if not, which other MC's will work? Are they bolt-in?)
How does brake bias (front-rear) change from stock?

Hmm.. not sure why i was thinking the 87 cradle wouldn't work. Maybe i was thinking of rim size... meh. Ok ill look into that, thanks.
