Rear Brakes
Thinking of doing a rear brake conversion over the Winter.
Seen Rear Brake Conversion Kit - Escort,Orion,Sierra,Kitcar on eBay (end time 21-Oct-10 08:47:51 BST) on ebay and wanted to
know if this is all I need, is it worth the money and is it worth doing a conversion at all.
Cheers Steve

er
how about handbrake cable and new flexi hoses plus mods to the copper brake lines and rebuilding / reconditioning the calipers
Edit: as to is it worth it I would say no as the next thing you will need is a brake bias valve to restrict the braking effort at the rear.

Be very careful 'upgrading' to Willwoods as moving from good M16's with 1144 pads to say Willwood Powerlights of a size which will
fit under 13 inch wheels, will in my experience, render a slightly worse performing brake.
