If the new Bonnevilles are H'*, they're drastically different, especially up front. In particular, the firewall/strut tower configuration. Not sure on Mom'* Vin. I'll have to get the first few digits from her.

Well then, back on the topic, I know the rear disc setup on a newer Bonneville won't swap over (without alot of fab). The knuckle/arm configuration to the hubs is totally different.

Now wait a second :? Didnt the LeSabre and Bonneville inherit the G platform from Riv. and Aur. ? Or is it just some of the parts ? I could swear I saw proof that Bonneville/LeSabre was a G body.

Damemorder - you can upgrade your fronts to the larger 90'* PA. But you cant use 15" wheels anymore. Dont remember the specifics but its been done on a few Lesabre T-types. Must be some Bonneville guys have done this too ? Then an adjustable regulater to get a little more pressure to the drums has been said to make a big difference.
Question - did the 92-99 H bodys have larger disc than 86-91 ? I realize I should know this having both but have never took the time to measure or really check it out when working on one.
The LSS has great brakes from my experiance.

Well, I only have a book that goes up to 92 but for example in 1989 carline series code for LeSabre was P custom or R Limited , Delta was N Royal/Y for Brougham, Bonne'* were X,Yand Z. H was 6000STE, and Century Custom

I think the whole rear disc thing is more for looks then performance. Rear brakes are only 30-20% of our braking power, and then the difference from going to discs isn't a full step up, so you're not looking at much of a gain.
I'd try the regulator first, but then your fronts won't be as strong.
