Hi all.
I`m checking out the possibility of changing the rear drum brakes to discs, so I want to get some useful information from people here.
What car calipers do you use, when you change the brakes?
I have already installed front disc brakes on my car, but the rear disc brakes are more complicated because of a handbrake. As I saw from TRS site, their upgrade can keep the handbrake, but it will be hydraulic. Do you have any ideas, how to keep the handbrake in it`s original condition? I have explored the rear disc calipers from alfa romeo 156 and barchetta, the handbrake is realised there with the cables. I want to make the same thing. Can you give me some advices in this question and the best solution of this upgrade? What is the approximately price for the rear calipers, brake pads and discs and of course - the metal plates that are needed for connection of calipers. What uniformity of the brake system do you have after changing the brakes? As I know, the front brakes have to be stronger than the rear.
Thanks in advance.
