Langley,
someone please fully explain to me the difference between the 1G FWD and AWD brakes.
The FWD's have a single-piston caliper, vented front discs, and solid rears, or at least that is what my car has. The AWD has two-piston calipers, larger front discs, and what rears?

I'm asking because I would like to replace all of my rotors with Powerslot and install stock AWD two-piston calipers with SS brake lines. Now, what parts would i need to do this: AWD two-piston calipers and mounting brackets, AWD Powerslot rotors, and AWD Brake lines? Do the FWD and AWD brake lines have the same fittings?
 
that's great thanks. one more question though just to clear everything up, the brake line fittings on all the 1G models are the same, right? so, I can order Powerslot Rotors for the AWD model and Goodridge SS lines and everything should fit?
