Rear brakes... what do i do? :(

[GhostWKD]

What you guys reckon? follow through with my UT rear disc conversion (going to be ripped off big time getting the bits )

or just completely rebuild the rear brake drums (new everything!)

what you guys think?

 

[richcinq]

Go for disks. Ive dont two cinq rear disk conversions now and its not that expensive and you will only wish you had done it later on anyway.

 

[GhostWKD]

Have dropped you pm buddy

Its more because of the fact im struggling to find parts and out of fustration i just want to get drums again

yet to sort out that brake union too,

Just imagained getting the parts would be alot easier/cheaper than it is

and lack of cash doesnt help either

 

[dave]

stupid poll, you know you are going to fit the disks, no matter what the vote is

 

[GhostWKD]

not really dave, im worried if i pay silly high price for axle (£130 + p&p!) then i'll get nowhere with it and give in and go drums anyway

madly trying to find another source of calipers etc before i say no to the guy as i'd rather pay more and get it all done, but prob got a max of £200 budget on this fix

 

[dave]

should have bought that cheep red uno turbo that dude was selling

 

[GhostWKD]

lol i'd be signing my death warrant, parents already want blood as is

 

[GhostWKD]

think your probably right though it probably will all end in discs either way, just bit of a risk i guess if all goes pete tong

Do you need discs on the back of a cinq?

There's next to no weight on there anyway, and when you brake hard you transfer most of it to the front.

Drums wear, and it isn't always obvious to see. If you put new shoes, drums, cylinders, backplates, linkages and cable on you can lock 'em up at will and do all sorts of irresponsible things!

Makes a big difference to overall braking too, if the rears work properly.

Well said that man [must keep on the right side of pete cos hes a power crazed boss ]:worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

my only concern is that i will pay a silly price for the rear axle off this UT and then decide to give up and do drums again, cant afford to lose that much cash

Pete has given the exact reason why im thinking new drums etc too, but i think im going to stick at disc conversion though, will be worth it

But if Pete has given you the perfik reason to keep to the rear drum setup WHY oh WHY go to the bother of going down the disc conversion route remember you got shows coming up and you cant get there with the ass of your car up on stands

 

[custard]

personally would go with the drums if your struggleing.you know at some point you will get the parts you need cheaper.im planning to overhaul the rear brakes soon(ish)

because rear disc conversion probably exact same amount of time/trouble/cash as it will be to overhaul my drum brakes
