Hi,
My 97 UK Sport has drums(!) on the rear, but I've been told a limited run were put out with discs....is this true? Does anyone know if I could just take off the old drums and plumb in some calipers and discs..or is it not that straight forward??

 

i would say it could be done, but is it honestly worth the expence to convert them? better off upgrading your front brakes as your rears only do something like 30% of braking.

OK...thanks.
What would people recommend? If I stick with the drums at the back what can I do to increase the stoping power and how much is it gonna cost???

 

Cheers, appreciate the advice...i'll look into it and let you know

 

I understand that they started putting drums on the back of sports due to the rear calipers seizing due to underuse

i expect you might be able to fit Turbo 4 pots to the front but not sure???
