I was wondering did anyone perform the conversion from rear drum brake to disc brake for Honda City?
Any good recommendation on what brands to get for the mod? I never like the rear drums on my honda city and for better safety, I'm planning to change it. Hopefully sifus here can guide me and give me some advise |

Well, I'm going genting for work often, hence the safety issue in mind, worried about the overheating issue.
wondering is it possible to find a halfcut of old city or front disc assembly to put on rear. |

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Sep 25 2019, 03:51 PM) You mentioned safety and you want discs at the back? Which kampung tuner told you that? I'm not here to argue the pros and cons of drum brakes vs disc brakes bro, just asking for the feasibility of upgrading the rear from drums to disc brakes.  My front is using a ceramic brake pads already, others are stock standard calipers. If upgrade front disc, what are the options? As 15" tyre does not have much room to spare for bigger calipers n disc. The cons of drums are during wet condition and it doesn't function as well as disc and heat dissipation is not good, hence the concern on safety especially doing downhill drive from genting. hopefully this clears up the doubt from everyone. |

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Sep 25 2019, 07:13 PM) When you want fade resistant braking over stock calipers, your only option is better disc and pads. There is also an option of better brake boosters and braided lines. Aren't brakes supposed to brake all 4 together to prevent fishtailing?The only other way to get massive braking performance up front is changing to 4 pot brakes. Usually comes with bigger discs. That means bigger wheels and lower profile tires. About the rear drums, they are not designed to lock up in the first place. You lock up the rear lets see how all your magical ABS, ESC will deal with that. You will have your first drift feeling. And how many workshop you know that has brake distribution measurement hardware besides JPJ? Well, let's just say that if I'm that well informed, I won't be here asking for help bro. |

so put the effort on front more effective than changing on back? That's the conclusion?
another question is why some cars like vios are front and back disc brake? |
