Your welcome James..........It will only sit around the shed for years collecting dust!

James............what happened at U-pull-it?

i got my front hubs, rear discs, handbrake cable and only ONE rear caliper.! They wanted 60 bucks each disc and caliper.! So ill have to go back when i got some money next to get my other caliper other than that im ready to upgrade my fronts next weekend and put the disc brakes on the rear. Ill probably try my luck at the setup with a cordia booster but if its no good ill have to shell out for a magna one too. Sigh

That's bullshit..........I have bought discs and calipers for 20 bucks each..........must have been the guy on the till...........don't worry about the booster and master, you can have it for the one I just replaced.

andrew ill text you bout that booster mate. My question is on the front ill have the gold rotors with red calipers. So should i paint the rear rotors and calipers to match? Or is that too try-hard as theyre stock?

I would certinally paint them..........spray the calipers and tape up the rotors and spray them gold.

fitted the magna hubs, calipers and dba rotors today. Big problems! I noticed straight away i have massive castor. The tyre is sticking out heaps at the top. And as i looked at the car from the front i could see HUGE toe out. I mean the left wheel was turning left and the right was turning right! I had to wind out the tie rod ends an inch each!!! So i wanna know if anyone has any ideas why there would be such a difference? Isnt the magna hub supposed to be a bolt on conversion? Why have i had so much trouble?

Jamie,
I'm pretty sure James and myself won't be doing the upgrade the way it was original written.......there is NO way I'm grinding the trailing arm.

uhuh.. you just swap sides or something dont you?

I didnt like that idea of the trailing arms either

Yep, just swap caliper mounts over..........but need to make custom brake lines.........no biggie!

Nothing wrong with grinding the arm, just shave a little more off and re-weld it. Surely that is easier/cheaper/faster than custom lines made.

Sorry Jon...........I'd rather make custom lines.........they only cost $20.........better than having a trailing arm separate on you.

do you go braided Andrew?
