rear disk brake

[S1997]

can proton rear disk brakes and knucles use the arms of rear drum brakes?

 

[Yong_5290]

totally diff...

 

[S1997]

if someone is only selling rear discs, calipers and knucles....how does the buyer going to fit them on his car with rear drums?

 

[ealt]

It is the same....you just need to take out the drum set and put disk,caliper and the cables...

 

[S1997]

good advice ealt

 

[huakenny]

ask ur mechanic before u buy...coz mechanic only know tat coz the mechanic fix the things....

 

[Yong_5290]

wat i change is the whole set of knuckle.arm.disc n anti roll bar

 

[S1997]

hmmm...still dont have a confirm answer....my mech also never try b4....

anybody else?who try b4?

 

[Yong_5290]

then i can tell u...go 2 other mech...this kinda thing also dunno

 

[boyzone]

should be no problem ... why want to upgrade to rear disc ?? drum should be more powerfull compare to disc ..ahh.

The most important is put in anti roll bar ... ( just my opinion :D )

 

[Yong_5290]

drum more powerful???? if drum is more powerful than disc...then u should c mitsu evo wit drum loh...o skyline wit drum...

sure lah disc better

 

[boyzone]

the performance car with rear disc break is because they want to anti lock from drum, the strong break from rear u will feel ur car rear wheel will slid out leh... that why now , most of the car are change to disc.. for safety.

if dun mistaken , for BMW 318 and 320 with yr 80 something , those are breaking of rear drum break .... :D

 

[Yong_5290]

ha ha ha...

in the year 80's i think almost all car using rear drum lah...

if its not 4 safety n comfort purpose then they dun desin em...and it also looks cool...who wan a black round drum brake anyway

 

[TiBuN]

If drum brake is giving better braking, shouldn't all performance car comes equipped with drum all around ?
If scared to lock the rear wheel, can it just change the brake bias more to the front?

I don't know whether this statement is true or not :"Drum brake provide more stopping power than disc brake".
I know disc brake can solve the brake fade problem only. Who study automobile engineering here? Or read from mag about this ?

my car rear break won't upgrade to disc , furthermore my front disc break I had change from V6 to local wira 1.5 disc break .. this due to I want to use 13" sport rims :D

as my poman advise, I only upgrade my master pump from sigle layer to double layer for better pressure support . After I try , stopping performance are good compare with 6A10 break system.

another is : when I plug in 15 " sport rims, I found that my break system become weak compare to 13" sport rim.

 

[Yong_5290]

sure lah..15" heavier mah...
6a10 disc...114.3 pcd rite...
upgrade pump n feel tat 1.5 disc is better than 6a10 dics...wait till u plug it back in n c...
if smaller disc is better...then u should just look 4 solid disc from 1.3...

dun c the purpose y ppl wanna upgrade 2 bigger diameter disc n wit 2 o more pot huh...?

 

[boyzone]

no, 6A10 is lancer body, so is 100 pcd.

yes, people look for better stopping from disc is because most of them are upgrade to so powerful engine, biggest sport rim and etc .. so they need to look for biggest disc and caliper , front will go to 4 pot and rear atleast 2 pot. Furthermore did u see that most of the performance disc set normally is biggest than our oem disc set atleast 2inch ?? This due to biggest caliper coz,they need more gripping area.
my v6 break pump is just single layer like local 1.5 once....
above is just for discussion and opinion ... not for arQ ... :D

 

[Yong_5290]

oh...ok...
coz mine is 4g93t gsr so i have 2 chnage the pcd 2 100pcd
but my rotor cross drilled so makan brake pad a bit...quite fast habis:D
even i'm using onli 4g91...i still feels tat my braking efficiency is not enuf...
brake pad bendix metal king..

wanna upgrade 2 double layer pump n servo
steel braided brake hose
mintex brake pad...
