Drum or Discs ? What's best?

[dubsport]

I just hate painted drums sooooo badly! Black is ok but red? or silver? Advertising you have shoddy rear brakes?  Ridiculous!

OI!

I agree with you tbh  going to sand them down and paint um black ... the rust look doesnt do it for me

What's the problem with the fronts?  and which fronts?

Is that to me?

It was mentioned above that the rear calipers on a mk2 were prone to seizing which can be sorted with some replacement mk4 options.
So I was asking is it possible to replace the front calipers on a mk2 with some mk4 front calipers?

I have to say about disc conversion are fine if you know what you're doing. Safety reasons would lead me to believe that if they lock up you could be in trouble as mentioned the cable must be seperate for the handbrake and pedal including the seperate bias valve.

Secondly if you really wanted to increase better perfromance of rear drums just buy groved drums with EBC shoes much better option! You can buy them from Demon tweaks I think? but its been awhile the last time I did this was on a 1989 Kh Clipper boy those brakes were Sh*t before upgrades!
