Eldorado calipers

[Mikel]

Are there any brake calipers with a larger piston than the Eldorado calipers that will fit on those brackets? I don't care about losing the parking brake.
Thanks.

Talking about the 5.5" on center floater calipers? Check 80's S10 variants.

I thought they used the same gm standard caliper mounts for those. Monte Carlo etc..

These are what I have been running. Not sure if they are any bigger than the Eldo calipers though

Not trying to hijack but does the parking brake function in the eldorado calipers work worth a damn?

No

Not in my experience. If adjusted just-right, it's usually enough to pass an inspection in states that have them, but not much more than that.

Thank you guys! I got some 2-3/4" diameter S-10 calipers and it's been a great improvement.

Yes, if you adjust them right to begin with and keep them adjusted.
