Good luck on the swap!
I suggest checking out the parts an' all before swapping. That's obvious, I know you know that, it needs to be said, especially if others are interested in doing the same.
Anywho, consider rebuilting the calipers, which is only 6 bucks each side. Check and/or replace the pads. Check replace bushings and paint/protect things that paint has been removed.

thanks...im probably gunna do new rotors all arround...there not to expensive and my ones up front are warped so ill just go with the slotted drilled ones all arround for a nice clean look and better performance....i will get a new kit for the backs as well as new pads and of course and clean the hell out of them. i just found a 4040 prop valve on ebay so im hoping to get that for like 35 bux...all is looking good on this swap..cant wait for it...ill keep you all updated...lol.

RE: disc swap 88 hatch
well...swap went good today...just need 4 screws and to bleed the system (knock on wood)........
The disk seem a little firm right now..im just hopping they will be ok..
here are some pictures..let me know what you think
here is a picture of the trailing arm where i put 2 grade 8 washers where the trailing arm meets the car...fourthgenhatch's diy suggested you put a washer for every inch your car is lowered.to keep toe adjustment correct
