I did enquire with a mechanic regarding rear disc conversion and he briefed me with 2 options.
First option was to swap the entire rear axle complete with disc. Costs with labor would set me back $425. Second option requires minor modification to my rear axle. He mentioned that there was no mounting holes for the rear calipers. This is where drum/disc axle differs. He needs to mount a fabricated metal plate/bracket for the calipers. He also needs to cut off the back part in order to install this plate/bracket. Photo 28-07-2018, 03 14 15.jpg the metal plates/brackets beside calipers Also he mentioned that the hand brake cable for disc/drum are different so you need to swap that too. |

Enviri, I believe the above photo is the JDM conversion kit bracket so the fabricated metal bracket might look a little different. That place is out of the way from any place I would visit but I'll try to go by and take a photo of the bracket and ask the price. You gotta be patient thou.

I have the Runstop rear disc conversion. As SOON as I have a chance I will have the brackets sent out. Just don't have cash and the conversion is still on the car.

Dink in comparison to a normal sized cars rotors, and yes the disc rears would be bigger than a non rs brake rotor.... if I were running that. I'm running Matrix front brakes right now per the swap guide. the rears are still dinky

I did swap my front discs & calipers to the JDM G grade/package. They are slightly bigger and the swap was quite straight forward.
