Ive heard of 4x4 saph ones as theyre vented on the rear, or are you after AP's?

Tarren

Cheers Adam

4x4 ones could be the way to go

ie the AP's had a quick look on there website and could not find out how the handbrake would work

is it just the discs you change or is it discs and calipers?

Tarren

James in that case 4x4 rears will be fine for me

i brought a bigger disk kit with spacers s/h on here for the back just to look better though ..

I fitted 4wd rear brakes on my 3 door, you need discs calipers and brackets. Easy conversion and no handbrake problems, you can also get a 300mm rear disc kit but doubt it would offer any real advantages other than looks

As said 4x4 rears are an upgrade, no bigger but they can dissipate the heat more efficiently due to being vented, again, as said you will need the calipers as well.

I use APs at the front with a 4X4 rear brake set-up and find that I can lock the rears before the fronts on track - so you'll be fine with a 4X4 set up at the back. The 4X4 discs are vented so runs cooler where 2WD is not. The fronts do all the work anyway. And as you see, you get to keep the original handbrake. Charlie
