Lads,
I am looking for any info for changing my Drum Brakes to Disk Brakes on my SPORT. I have 17" Imolas, they look great only for those big Rear Drums, I would love to fit a set of Grooved Disks instead.
Any Info would be great..
rgds,
Colin

Just a thought, and I havent got a GCSE in Brakes, but...
If you do a simple swap for discs at the rear, you could have a lot of rear bias since they might be much more efficent for the same amount of fluid being pushed into them from the master cylinder...and then you might turn quickly into a spinning top if you braked violently when not in a straight line.
I suspect you'd have to change the master cylinder as well or put in some sort of bias control like what they have in race/rally cars.
