Default AP 4 Pot Rear Conversion Kit???

Hi guy's,

I'm looking to buy 4 Pot AP Racing front calipers off someone with the thought of having them converted to the rear.

Would anyone know where I could get a rear conversion kit, with the correct hub size etc etc.

Any information would be useful!

i have a kit for a newage that comes with everything you need to convert.
give scoobyworld a call

Hi
Front caliper are too big to fit on the rears , AP do make a rear 4 pot kit but they use a small caliper , they also use small pistons in them to keep the braking balance correct , if you fit front calipers on the back , they will overbrake and the car will be dangerous to drive

Ahh I see... As I have 6 Pot AP calipers at the front, I thought that they would compensate...

But you're right from what you've just mentioned about the smaller pistons that would result in the correct ratio of balanced stopping power.

Thanks!
