I meant "work".

They get heckled for their efforts by their peer. It gets pretty harsh before MODS have to close the topic. Almost like a "tar and feather" situation.

 

wow. tar and feather me. i got the answer i was looking for. expensive kit. 1400$ aus.

the one time i 'bump' and people whip out pictures of retarted little boys.

sigh

 

Yeah, I know I've seen this subject quite a few times. Didn't someone post a thread explaining how to run a successful search like a year ago? Oh yeah, I guess it's not stickied so you'd have to search for it too!

Don't worry travelsize, this forum just tends to be more... ****-like. I stopped caring about repeated subjects because some of the ones I know are around are archaic and hard to find. My rule: If I can't run a search and find it myself, then you're excused. If I find it in 3 tries or less, you're a noob.

Ok, I'm going to search for disc brake conversion and see what comes up.

 

Ouch, you lose. First try and I got this thread that's only a month old.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ake+conversion

No worries though

 

I checked that site and all I saw was....
well I didn't see anything that says where to get it
and I don't think rpw do sell the rear conversion....

 

If you read the entire thread I linked right up there, you'll see a few options on where to find conversions. Most of them are just rear discs off other related cars (JDM Lancers, Mirages, Cedias, etc.) and require a little tinkering though.

 

sorry to resurect a old post, but it seemed like a better idea than starting a new one. Would it be feasible to move the front disc system to the back after a new set of wilwoods in the front?
How much modification would really be required.

 

Sounds like a huge and expensive project to me. Live axle to static, different spindles, different mounting points (2 tie rods to 1), but I couldn't tell you for sure.

 

It is not possible to move the front brakes to the rear. The rotor dimensions and caliper mounting are all wrong and you'd be missing your e-brake.

 

lancer doesnt really need rear discs, especially since mine is auto, but i figure if i get wilwoods, then it may be worth it to try...just wanted some opinions. thanks

 

at the same time we get tired of no0bs posting before searching, i'm getting tired as heck of seeing evom vets bashing on no0bs. It's getting annoying.

evolutionm.net should be changed to usethesearchbutton.com

 

thats why i didnt start a new thread...just added my $.02 to an existing one.

 

Not to step o nany toes, because Gunshin, you know that when it comes to engine, I can hold my own, but when it comes to brakes and suspension, that is your turf exclusively.

Now to my knowledge, theoretically, could he use a bias valve and a hydraulic handbrake, assuming the rotor dimension and caliper mounts could be "worked with"? Or am I totally off-base here?

 

You could probably set up a hydraulic parking brake, but it would be illegal and a tad unsafe. All 50 states require that one axle have a mechanical brake for redundancy.

 

Stupid US and its stupid laws....

Thanks.
