hi, i am looking what brake kits i am going to do for both front and rear, but i am finding it very hard what to do for the rear to keep the handbrake cable system. i know that hi-spec does this kit bur i prefer not to use them, i want something different! any help please ?? what brake kits are you using please!!

 

On the front I've gone for AP5200 4pot calipers with 330mm disks & DS2500 pads, on the rear I've got brand new standard calipers & pads with 330mm disks. Braided hoses through out & SRF fluid.

 

Ive got AP 355 6 pot kit on the front with std new calipers and 300mm disks on the back it did have hi-spec 4 pot handbrake calipers on the back but they were far too much for the rear without fitting a bias valve imo & the handbrake mec part of them is terrible wouldnt even hold the car.

 

I'm sure you can get a kit from Reyland that enables you to run 4pots on the rear & keep the standard caliper for the handbrake.

 

I've got AP 6 pots with 362mm rotors on the front and 300m on the rear.

Fronts

 

any one has an ap 4 pot rear conversion and still with a cable handbrake pls !!!!!

 

On the front of the cossy, i have 6 pot ap's and on the rear i have these, hi spec.

 

anyone has an ap conversion pls

 

yes mate had mine convershion over 3 years now 380mm 6pots on the front and 330mm 4 pots and spot caliper for hand brake

 

have you bought it as a whole kit or seperatly ?

 

No the ap 4 pot kit is from reyland and the hand brake caliper and bracket ect i made up myself as there is not a kit for this but i have lent people the brackets that i made and others have coppied them

 

Have you had to fit a bias valve Dunc??

 

no mate just the standard one fitted and all is well but some do fit them and if the car was to be used hard on track then i might allso fit one but as for now i havent needed one and i do use the brakes hard

 

is the caliper the one from wilwood , because wilwood has something very near to it.

 

is there any other brand of brakes who does the rear brake caliper like hi-spec with handbrake ?

 

Reyland mods the standard rear calipers to fit over AP discs. Means they only work from the cable allowing the APs to do all the breaking.

 

anyone has a picture of the reyland conversion please
