hey im am wanting to put xr3i 2 pot front calipers in to the rear of my sierra which had drums but i am told by a few friends dat wen i am brakeing it will lock the rear wheels before the front the oppiste of wat ther soposed to do an den causeing me to lose control.

does anybody have any ideas how to set the brakes up so that it will brake the front more than rear?? many thanks if u can help me or even have an opinion! evan

 

irr Brake Bias will do the job, but what are you going to used for handbrake? set of 4x4 rear cailpers an discs etc will be a better job,

 

(irr Brake Bias)explain lad?? ther is a hydrulic handbrake going in so i dont need the cable calipers.

 

He just means fit a brake bias valve mate

 

you wont be able to get a test on the car with a hydraulic handbrake mate

 

Yea i no dat mate.but not to worryed about test at the min.

 

u can buy little mechanical handbrake calipers pretty cheap but would 4x4 cosworth rears not do the trick?

 

yea they would indeed do the trick put really want dez on the back i lik wen things are diffrent!
anybody no wer to get a brake bias valve?thanks...

 

anybody else have any ideas??

 

i dont understand why u want to make things difficult for your self its not even like u need super hispec brakes as u have a 1.8 diesel sierra??
just buy a complete rear brake assembly from a old Xr4x4 or something for 100 quid and bolt it straight on

 

yeah cosworth set up is VERY good, fitting two pots is a waste of time tbh. plus it ant going to make it stop any better, set of 2wd/4x4 cailpers with good pads/discs cant go wrong,

 

the engine is being changed to a sr20det out of a nissan s14 u see..yea i mite go with the xr4x4 or the 4x4 cossie.

 

oh thats a good engine. dare i say it better than a YB in standard form :O

 

i agree i never was fond of the yb engine dat why im goen wif the sr20det going to rebuild it with all uprated stuff as well hope to be running about the 350bhp mark.evan

 

would it not be worth floggin the sierra and just buying a 200sx. u can get reasonable ones for like 2 grand. sierra would probably fetch a grand with the work uv done on it

would be cheaper than modifying the sierra to fit a rebuilt sr20

 

yea ur very rite der mate but dis has never been done in a saff sierra before dat i heard of an its a project car now so want a one off saff an i have a bmw to drive about in so im all good no rush with it.
