| Post subject: | rear discs |
ne ideas? Perhaps some smaller solid discs and falcon calipers? (the falcon calipers have intergral handbrake mechanism) not KAD type, but something to suit my camira option for the front. |

If you use the search button you will find a few threads where people have asked about rear discs. I would advise against rear discs as too much effort for too little gain but that is just my view 
I had an XF Falcon with rear discs and the integral handbrake is a pain as it has a habbit of seizing up (sometimes in the off position but most often in the on position!) |

Yeah my EA Falcon did the same, I changed both sides.. Falcon calipers would be way too big anyhow.. Fiat 124 or 125 rear calipers were similar design but smaller and their handbrakes didn't seize. Better mechanism.. But the handbrake was pissweak.
Most cars made now with rear discs have brake shoes inside the disc.. so the handbrake actually works!

If you really want to up the stopping power of the rear brakes, just fit some Superfin drums if you REALLY want. Discs on the rear is a big waste. |

Mano, Cant see the point really with less than 300kg at the rear, why need huge brakes. All you will get is contsatnt wheel lock unless you use a very sensitive biasing valve which equal more $$. Superfins yes, discs?? Andrew |
