i bought some z brakes off a 90 non turbo z. there a 26mm. i dont have the ebrake assembly, but i found someone local who has what i need. the only problem i forsee is that the ebrake assembly is off of a 92 z wich uses 30mm brakes. will that make a difference for me?

I'm pretty sure the rears are all the same.

Please don't take my word for it though.

I think there were small differences in some of the bolts though... something about a tab somewhere...

The rear is different. Isn't a big deal...

When you buy rotors just buy 26mm in the front and 30 in the rear. Done.

They should, but the calipers won't be big enough to use all of the rotor.
