I'm doing the brakes on my 89 5th Ave and used partsavatar.ca and got everything I needed for cheaper than I could locally. It also had free shipping which is pretty unheard of for a Canadian company.

Be careful though... they labelled the front calipers as left and right for the same part number, you need one of each part number.

99% that your 88 has a 7.25 rear end in it.
You mean the bleeder screw has to be on the top of the caliper? LOL.

I've used partsavatar before and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. My only two complaints is they can be a bit slow shipping and a few times I've made an order and they came back with the item not being in stock.

For me with my AHB the problem wasn't finding the parts or good price (Rockauto had everything), it was the quality. EVERYTHING seemed to be made in China regardless of the brand and was junk. It was not always this way. I hope this site is still good.
