Front to Rear

[lucky]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows if 172 front discs can be fitted to the rear? Can it done with modifications, straight swap or not at all?

Any info would be a help.

Cheers

Carl.

The std rear discs hold the wheel bearings, meaning significant modifications would have to take place to fit them.

Anything can be done its just how deep are your pockets.

There is no real advantage braking wise as the rear does very little.

really not worth doing

fornt discs account for 70% of breaking, and rears predictably for 30%. Big discs on the back would mean a considerable imbalance. AKA rubbish
