Sparetyre Neutral Newbie June 27, 2002 Share June 27, 2002 I guess for drivers in Sillypore, discs/drums is sufficient. Its more for aesthetics than anything else. Of course for the benefit of 'you know who', the Bimmers brakes ROCK!! Not sure about the bimmer's brakes.... have yet to drive one to know... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear June 27, 2002 Share June 27, 2002 (edited) One thing i find really strange, how come the Galant has drum brakes? Usually for a 2litre car, it should come with a disc setup all round, taking into consideration the weight and power output? For humble cars like mine, drums are sufficient, as the car is light(1091KG) Edited June 27, 2002 by Magfocus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i am not mistaken, your car has a 2L GDi engine right? That should put out about 145ps. Thats about the same as a Mondeo! Usually the cars in the 1.6 class have drums, exceptions are the Corollas and the Toledos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggable Clutched June 27, 2002 Share June 27, 2002 The Galant has too many models, made me very confused. I have seen some with all round disc, though. Some big cars also comes with disc/drum combination, like Kia Carnival, Toyota RAV4J 5 dr, and Mit Spacewagon! One thing i find really strange, how come the Galant has drum brakes?
