Disc Brakes for Rear Wheel

~ H O N D A ~ · 13th June 2006, 22:07

i ve been thinking bout this for a while now.

I would reall appreciate if someone can help me out.

I wanned to fit Disc Brakes on my Rear Wheel of my OHC to improve the braking.

Its very difficult to get that done....

BTW,
Doesnt' it need a ECU mod or something, cuz ABS is controlled by it?

~ H O N D A ~ · 13th June 2006, 22:28

not yet thought bout gettin a ABS

just was thinking can it be done.
(as far as i know ABS can be done in Front Disc and Rear Drum arrangement also)

but my concern is not ABS just Disc for Rear wheel for better braking

For better braking, all u need is some cross drilled rotors and better brake pads..Thats also much easier to do as well.

I would not say it is impossible for those with extreme deep pockets to configure a disk brake system on the rear wheels but getting the hand brakes to work properly on the rear will be the achellis heel of your effort at conversion. I would suggest that you procure softer grippier rear brake shoes instead of going the disk brake route if you feel the rear brakes are not upto your demading standards. Bye and wear your seatbelts.

15" with potenza gIII's or yokohama es-100

karthik247 · 13th June 2006, 23:30

Yokohama, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Michelin.....all are good. It depends on ur driving style and conditions.

HI,

It can be done. Get the kit off the TYPE II OHC in Thailand. They come stock with disks at the rear. But buying these from Honda may cost anything between 60 to 80,000

Cheers

There are people in Madras who can do it. You just need to get the hardware. Plus I have seen a OHC with rear disc brakes.

hey Ford Rocam

I heard alot bout ur car and really looking forward to make my car just like yours.

I think all the HONDAITES must look upon you for inspiration

Thats an amazing machine you have.

By the way what do u think about this idea of gettin a disc on the reae wheel

karthik247 · 15th June 2006, 20:00

@Turboindia
Don't u have the Tarox brake pads and cross-drilled rotors for the Honda?? I've driven Jerry's car and its pretty good.

That should be the cheapest and best thing to do i guess, cost arnd 20-25k if i'm not wrong (for the Skoda)
