Well while I'm waiting for my other parts to come in I thought maybe I'd upgrade the brakes. I do have a few question before. I've read the VFAQ and a bunch of threads so most question have already been answered. I figured I'd just go to oreilly and get some 93-94 model (wanted these models so I didn't have to change lines) brakes, calipers, and rotor then just find the part that calipers mount to (think its called hub ass.). When I called oreilly they told me they were only single piston.

1. will this way of upgrading work and is it worth the money? (without brackets its less than 150 bucks for all front parts)
2. thought that was one point to brake upgrade, to have dual piston calipers?
3. my car came with ABS, but its no longer on there. So do I need without ABS? (they asked me this when I called)
4. what is correct name of part that calipers hook to?
5. am I missing or forgetting anything?
 
if your upgrading to dual pistons you will need the caliper mounting brackets and rotors. stick some nice pads (i have ebc greenstuff pads) and good rotors (i have oem mitsus from vfaq) and cannot believe how well it improved my stopping

so they did make a dual piston caliper for 93-94 model then? oreilly doesnt seem to have them
