Default anyone changed the rear brakes on a V3 Type R

Hi,

Has anyone done the above ?

I'm currently trying to fit newage 2 pots to the rear and I've been told a few different things

One person says backing plates from a newer car would make them fit straight on and another says the only way to do it is to change the hubs

This is proving to be a bit of a nightmare to say the least

Can anyone tell me which is true ?

Thanks

Yes hubs will be cheaper option,than buying brackets.I've done something similar on mine,due we are have Single slider pots and we are want 6pots Rear ones.

I think he may be correct.

I seem to believe that the V3 Type R is a bit of an odd ball when it comes to the rear brakes.
