scottybo Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 anythings better than standard dude. lookin to do rear disc conversion as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicksy Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 anythings better than standard dude. lookin to do rear disc conversion as well? You dont get much more braking (if any) from fitting the rear discs, Its for looks only really. My RS has got std 260mm on the front and the std drums on the back and it doesnt pull up too badly. If you have ABS you cant keep it with the rear discs IIRC, you would need to get focus hubs and have them modified to take the abs sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockerrob666 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) nah, wouldn't be able to do it myself, bit too much heavy work. the cars a daily runner so any work that takes more than 4hrs has to be done during the school holidays and when the missus doesn't want to go shopping . can't dive under cars like I used to - god I sound old! lol not like young whippersnappers like you.......lol I reckon just try and find some uprated shoes and give the drum a good scrub and paint when the wheels get changed over. went outside for a fag earlier and next door had an st220 outside, I stood there contemplating whether I would be able to swap the rear axle, front callipers and discs without him noticing, haha, just joking, but it was a very nice motor. aren't rear really only for handbrake and heavy braking, anyway?? so they would only be for looks. i did see, years ago, demon tweeks where selling fake discs for the rear that you stuck over the drums!! looked very plastic, don't think they sold many. lol Edited December 17, 2012 by Rockerrob666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
