I have a 9 bolt im putting in to replace my busted 10 bolt. Im also going from drums to disks. Which rear brake parts am I looking for? I keep seeing a reference to with performance brakes or without. Im not sure if the 9 bolt disk rear came with only 1LE's, or could they come on standard cars? Which pads and rotors am I looking for?

 

Both 9- and 10-bolt could have the old style iron Delco-Moraine calipers; both could have 1LE's, depending on the year. Check the following link for more info:

1989 9-bolt PBR rear brakes with 11.655 dia rotors & aluminum calipers..

 

I know that, but everything asks me me if the car is equiped with performance package for rear?

 

11.655 rotors & PBR calipers are the rear performance package.

 

Ah, thank you for clearing that up.

Another question. Who the hell sells good brake rotors and pads for these calipers? Id like to get a set of Hawk HPS pads if possible, but I have only seen them for "non-performance package" rear brakes.

 

I have used Performance Friction z-rated pads for the 9-bolt brakes.

 

I ordered my pads and rotors from carquest.
Rotors where 17.89 a each and the pads where 23 bucks for the set.
And yes thats for the 11.655 rotors and pads for the pbrs.

 

Your lucky you have the PBR setup. I've had two 9 bolts with the older '88 disc brakes and the calipers are junk. And 3 were messed up. 2 were frozen, one worked and one leaked all over.
