Can any one tell me if the Town Car Limo brake calipers would work in place of the standard non-limo calipers used on the CV, GM, TC, and MM? I think they should work but am not 100% sure what if any difference to the stock brake calipers there would be since the part numbers are different between the limo and standard town car (standard town car is the same part # for the CV, GM, TC, and MM)

I can pick up some of the Limo version rear calipers already rebuilt for about $25-$35 a piece but wanted to see if they would be usable and if anyone had used the limo parts prior to this point.

Main difference I have found so far is the standard caliper= Bore Size=1.885-1.886" Inlet Thread=38/X24 Bleeder Thread=M10X1

The Limo=Bore Size=2" Inlet Thread=38/X24 Bleeder Thread=3/8X24. The Limo version also shows fitment with several trucks:

FORD EXPEDITION (1997 - 2002)
FORD F-150 (1997 - 2004)
FORD F-150 HARLEY-DAVIDSON EDITION (2001 - 2003)
FORD F-150 LIGHTNING (1999 - 2004)
FORD F-150 SUPER CAB (1997 - 1998)
FORD F-250 (1997 - 1999)
FORD F-250 SUPER CAB(1997 - 1999)

Found the main difference between the brake setups. The limo has 13" rear brakes and the limo calipers for $25-$30 are for that setup. Wonder how easy it would be to swap this setup over to standard non-limo rear end?

Going to keep this in mind and in the future look for the limo rear end setup at a junkyard to possibly see if this is a cheap rear 13" conversion.

Going to go with the standard setup for now as I already have the rotors in the garage for this rebuild.

That would be interesting to see.
