rear drum to disc conversion

[David]

right im pretty serious about having this done now, has anyon tried this or know what sort of costs r involved? just cant stand me drums!! is it best to get the stuff froma dynamique plus model or get a 172 axel and go down that route (might not even b any different!!).

 

[Alan]

Could you maybe put a 1.6 16v dynamique rear axle on?

 

[David]

i have a 1.6 mate....hmm....

 

[Alan]

I thought they all came with discs on the back, all the 1.6s ive seen have?

Sorry.

 

[David]

nah only on the dynamique plus range i know cause i dont ave em!!!

 

[RobFenn]

Its not that hard but not cheap, and you get lame ass rear discs that 172s have.

[Alan]

Oh right! Well couldnt you get one of them then? Sorry i thought yours was a 1.4 or somethin.

 

[David]

got any better suggestions rob? shud i not bother then stick with me sh*tty drums!??!

 

[Alan]

Just put 4 pots on the front! Rear brakes dont have as much power as the front anyways esp on a front wheel drive front engine car.

 

[David]

lol im only doing it for the look dude!!

 

[Alan]

Yeah i know what you mean mate, you should be thankful that you gotta a 1.6 n not a 1.2 16v like me!

Replacing the axel as a unit is the easiest method, not sure that the ones with drums will have all the brackets in the correct places.

Should be a simple job.

Trawl the scrappys. tho a rs rear suspension section has anti roll bars not sure if the 1.6 has a rear set up.
