Rear Drum brakes to disc (possible?)
I got front rotors from POWER SLOT for my 99 LX. I like them so much I'd like the rear to look the same. Any way to make the stock rear drum brakes to disc to put the slotted rotors on them?

switching to five lug though would mean that he has to swap to 5 lug mags as well.. ugh for me that would be too much money down that i'm willing to spend at one time

the FAQ says you can get the parts from a jdm 3rd gen. might be too pricey for you guys there. maybe someone who's into importing surplus jdm stuff can hook you up? i'm sure if they can get engines from wrecked cars, they could find rear disc brakes too.

try corksport..they can get you the rear 4-lug disc hubs, they are J-spec though

Personally I would leave the set up as it is ,I realize you want the looks of discs all the way around but Mazda rear calipers are bad for craping out . They need alot of attention to keep them working as they should .
The disc/drum setup will stop you just as quick as 4 wheel discs with no chance of locking up the rears . |
I agree with macklum.
Having my 2000 ES (disc/drums) with good pads and brake shoes (from Hawk/Carbotech), it stops on a dime!! The only hassle is changing drum brakes is a pain in the ass, and I guess it doesn't look as cool. However, I looked into the conversion and its about $400/corner, plus wheels- putting it up to $1000 for the whole conversion. And for no gain in performance! |
